ELI5:Why do women usually live longer then men?
gpt
It mostly comes down to work.

The life expectancy for males is slightly lower than women because dangerous jobs are usually done by men, and men generally work longer than women. Soldiers, lumberjacks, miners,  are pretty much only done by males and so will bring the average life expectancy down. Males are more likely to smoke than women, causing more men to die early due to problems cause by smoking, bringing the average down.

> Men take more risks.  
Men are more likely to work in more dangerous jobs.  
The way men put on weight, etc is more likely to lead to cardiovascular disease at an earlier age.  
Men are more likely to not seek medical attention for injuries and disease.  
Men are more likely to be the victims of violent crime (wars ect).

Sidenote: this is also why males on average get paid more than women. It's not because of unequal rights, but the fact that men *work more* than women on average. (More manual labour/more dangerous work environments/longer hours).
