It's well known that men have shorter life expectancy than women by a few (3-5) years. This is true for all races (black, white, asian, hispanic, middle eastern, american indian, ect...). What is the reason behind all this?? I don't believe women have longer life expectancy just because they are women. I think the main reason men have shorter life expectancy is because they tend to abuse themself more. If the lifestyle of men is as healthy as women's, their life expectancy would be somewhat the same.
What do you think??
