    Women on average live longer than men according to this article. Biologically, women have hormones that help lower blood pressure and reduce the risks of heart attacks and infections. Additionally, women are reported to smoke and drink less than men and also experience less stress. However, the author believes these longevity differences are more due to changing social and cultural factors rather than biology alone, and the gap may narrow as these societal factors continue to evolve over time.
