Both men and women are living longer these days in the industrialized countries. However, women on the average, live longer. In general, they can expect to live six or seven years more than men. The reasons for this are both biological and cultural.
One important biological factor that helps women to live longer is the difference in hormones between men and women. Hormones are chemicals which are produced by the body to control various body functions. Between the ages of about 12 and 50, women produce hormones that are involved in fertility. These hormones also have a positive effect on the heart and the blood flow. In fact, women are less likely to have high blood pressure or to die from heart attacks.
