Women live about five years longer than men-why

One of the reasons women live longer than men is that men are more prone to industrial diseases such as asbestos related illnesses such as Mesothelioma.

Woman have traditionally worked in more office based environments whilst men have been more inclined to work in much more physically demanding situations such as factories and building sites.

These types of environments have also been more prone to fatal accidents.

With the advent of better Health and Safety regulations and women becoming more open to working in a wider range of employments statistics may well shift.

It is accepted however that one of the main reasons women live longer than men is that their working environments have been safer.
