Women may not live longer than men as new study questions long-held belief
03.08.2022 - 13:31 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A new study has called into question the long-held belief that women outlive men.
Although men have a lower life expectancy than women, men have a “substantial chance of outliving females”, according to academics from Denmark.
Life expectancies – which summarise the average length of life – are a “simplistic measure” which are often interpreted as meaning that “men do not live as long as women”, researchers said.
They argue that simply looking at life expectancy means that people are not accounting for variation around the averages, and a “sizeable portion of males might live longer than a sizeable portion of females, even if the life expectancy shows a female advantage”.
A better measure could be to examine the lifespan of men and women across different countries, they said.
Their study, published in the journal BMJ Open, examined data on the lifespan of men and women across 199 countries for almost 200 years.
The analysis concluded that men have a high probability of outliving women — especially those who are married and have a degree.
“Males who are married or have a university degree tend to outlive females who are unmarried or do not have a high school diploma,” the authors said.
They found that the probability of a man outliving a woman is between 25% and 50%.
They pointed out that large differences in life expectancy mask substantial overlap in lifespan between the sexes.
“A blind interpretation of life expectancy differences can sometimes lead to a distorted perception of the actual inequalities [in lifespan],” the authors wrote.
They concluded: “Although male life expectancy is generally lower than female life expectancy, and male death rates are usually higher at all ages, males have a substantial chance of outliving

about that shortage, which explains in part that the United States procures a sizable number of the needed vaccines from Denmark, but said vaccines are live vaccines and require intense cold to keep them useful. And apparently, facilities in the United States aren’t as cold as the ones in Denmark, which means if the government ordered too many, a lot would go to waste.“So if all the doses were not necessary for the outbreak, their shelf life would be dramatically shortened,” one official told the New York Times.Colbert spent some time lightly poking fun at how the U.S.
