Why Women Live Longer than Men?

Statistics show that the average woman lives 7 years longer than the average man. The gap isn’t the same in all parts of the world, so the difference varies. For example, the average length of a man’s life in industrialized countries is shorter, because of the hazardous working conditions. Initially, scientists thought that the gap was a result of biological differences. However, after years of research, they found out that the gap is usually the result of the living conditions and lifestyle of men and genetics play a very small role.
