Men Die Earlier: Why Masculinity Alone Is Not the Cause
Published
Men live about five years less than women on a global average. In addition, their disease burden is 16 percent higher. These figures show a clear difference between the sexes that has been known for a long time.
A report covered by WEB.DE examines the question of why men die earlier. According to it, the explanation does not lie in masculinity itself. Instead, other factors are named that can influence men's health behavior and living conditions.
The present text refers to global average values. The report does not contain figures specific to Austria. Therefore, the information available does not allow us to say exactly how large the difference in life expectancy between men and women is in the country.
The difference in life expectancy and in disease burden remains an important topic for health research. Further details on the causes and possible solutions can be found in the full article on WEB.DE.
