Why women live longer than men

 

In the fourth extract from his book 'Living to 100' Professor Thomas Perls of
Harvard Medical School looks at why there are nine times as many centenarian
women as there are men. Professor Perls is the founder of the New England
Centenarian Study (NECS). In all developed, and most developing countries,
women's life expectancy exceeds that of their male counterparts - sometimes by
as much as ten years. In the US, life expectancy for women is 79 years and for
men, 72 years.

It's surprising that women outlive men, because a man has many biological
advantages, being generally stronger, taller, and richer than his female peer.
All of these attributes would normally be expected to confer health advantages.
In factrea and select 'Positive Aging' from the Health Centers. Then open the
article entitled: 'The Longest-Living Sex - and
Why'

For the Professional version, go to the 'Professional' area and select
'Positive Aging' from the Health Centers. Then open the article entitled: 'Gender Differences in
Longevity'

August sign-in

Hello from sunny, hot, exciting Las Vegas.  Actually it's a dry heat--10 to 15% humidity, so not so bad compared to the hot and humid days in Verdun.  And no bugs or shad flies.  But many other things from good old Verdun I do miss. 

 

Bill--184 1st Ave  and 1088 Allard.

Current Movies

Check out the 2004 remake, or rent the original 1962 of 'The Machurian
Candidate' if you will.

The first one 1962 has a more realistic Capt. Marco (Frank Sanatra)
than the remake (Denzel Washington) although D.W. is always great.
1962 enemy in M.C.-- communists.
2004 enemy in M.C. -- capitalists.
Changing times. Oh well.

chat suggestions

It seems to me that there are tons of members on this site, logging in at various times throughout the day and no one can really pin point when they have a minute to chat.  I suggest that we get a volunteer "chat host" schedule going.  Times when you know that you can open the chat room.  At least if a host is there to open the chat, when  others log in throughout  the day , they will know they will have one other person to chat with, hopefully more.  You can (for example) schedule nightly chat from 7-11pm (to lesson the hosting time) knowing that there is at least one person on line at all times for people to talk to online.  I would volunteer to stay on for a few hours to keep the chat open and I believe others would be willing to do that - we are verduners aren't we? Volunteering is in our nature.  I would just make sure that you set up chat rules for the hosts to follow.  P.S. You can make someone a host during the chat session without giving them manager status.   Madeline
