A friend found that in most elderly families, both husband and wife go first. Truth be told, this is a natural rule, because the average life expectancy of men is much shorter than that of women.
According to various statistics, the life expectancy of women is on average much longer than that of men.
According to the National Statistical Yearbook, the average life expectancy in mainland China in 1980 was 67.77 years, of which 66.28 years for men and 69.27 years for women, a difference of 2.99 years. As time goes on, the average life expectancy is getting longer. In 2020, the average life expectancy in mainland China was 77.93 years, 80.88 years for women and 75.37 years for men, and 5.37 years longer for women than men.
In 2021, the average life expectancy of men in Shanghai was 81.76 years and that of women was 86.56 years, a difference of 4.80 years, while the life expectancy of men in Guangzhou was 80.43 years and that of women was 86.01 years, a difference of 5.58 years.
In general, there are many reasons for the difference in life expectancy. For example:
First, gender has its own advantages. In terms of the number of births, the natural sex ratio of males to females is 107~108:100. The number of females is inherently much lower than that of males, and even if everyone dies at the same time, the average life expectancy of males is much lower than that of females.
Because life expectancy is mathematically calculated according to the mortality rate of each age, the vast majority of people do not live to be 100 years old. So when the mortality rate is high, the life expectancy of men is low.
Second, men are at high risk of engaging in activities. Men generally have a strong sense of adventure and are willing to participate in some risky activities, such as exploration and bungee jumping. The proportion of men who love sports is also far higher than that of women. The associated risks of these activities are certainly much higher than those of a solid life, and a higher risk means an increase in mortality, which in turn reduces life expectancy.
Third, men are under a lot of pressure. For thousands of years, people have regarded men as the breadwinners of the family. They are the main workforce and are responsible for the security of the family and the source of income for the entire family.
This is also the case in real life, when encountering difficult and stressful jobs, men are responsible for them. This series of pressures will affect people's life expectancy.
Fourth, there are many habits that are popular among men that are not good. For example, we all know that smoking and drinking alcohol are harmful to our health, but the proportion of men participating is much higher than that of women. If these habits are persisted in for a long time, they will greatly affect people's physical health and increase mortality.
Fifth, women are more able to endure pain than men. I believe many people know that especially when people give birth and give birth, pain is the highest pain grade. Women have a strong ability to endure suffering, and at least ensure that they can avoid taking the path of suicide.
Overall, while there is a lot of data that proves that women live longer than men, gender is not a determining factor in people's life expectancy. If you want to live a long life, on the one hand, you must protect your health, and on the other hand, you must maintain a good lifestyle.
Also, obsession can also increase people's life expectancy. For example, the mortality rate of people who participate in pension insurance is generally lower, and the number of people who participate in accident insurance is about half. In other words, it is a good choice to participate in pension insurance if you want to live a long life. #头条创作挑战赛#
