The Biological Differences Between Men And Women

Over the course of history, men and women have be faced with a communication barrier. The differing communication skills between men and women present challenges that can lead to foreseeable problems in relationships. These problems arise out of differing purposes, styles, traits, and emotions that accompany communication between the two sexes. Unless an understanding is reached, these barriers may never be broken down.

capacity to live to be 90, and a little more for women, but life expectancy in the United States

Life expectancy in the human race has risen dramatically in the past century reaching its highest level for both male and female on record. Between 1981 and 2002 life expectancy at age 50 increases by four and a half years for men and three years for women and two years respectively. By 2002 women who were age of 65 could expect to live to the age of 84 while men could expect to live to the age of 81.

In their study on the trends in county mortality and cross-county mortality disparities in the United States, Ezzati et al. found out that there have been huge variations in the mortality patterns over time. The mortality declined significantly for both sexes specifically due to decreases in cardiovascular mortalities, which included stroke and heart disease. The researchers found that the overall life expectancy in the United States increased from 74 to 80 years for women while that of men increased from 67 to 74 years of age. Further, from 1961 to 1983, the differences in death rates among or across different counties fell. There was a decline or stagnation in mortality among 19 percent of female and 4 percent of male population. Men lived 9.0 years longer in the

Marital status can also play a part in determining longevity. “Getting married is a good way to live longer-at least that’s what research says” (Bushak, 2015, para 12). Having

First, it has been estimated that approximately 25 million American men are currently going through male menopause and researchers expect that number to double by the year 2020. (6) However this hypothesized statistic does not seem realistic. Such a statement implies that more men will go through the change in the future than are going through it today. How can the number of men afflicted double? It is not contagious, and there is no biological proof that such a gene exists that may help yield the affects of male menopause.

Women have a different physiological structure than men. “Compared with men, women have increased pelvic width, forefoot pronation, heel

Throughout history, only men were used for research subjects, and it was assumed that the female anatomy was essentially the same as men, not including reproductive organs. Because of this, clinical trials were male centric, and women were not well represented in research; therefore, women’s health and

People often talk of a battle between the sexes, but women have the last laugh on men when it comes to how long we live. This advantage in lifespan was not always so pronounced, however. An article in realclearscience.com reveals that for men and women born in the early to mid 1800s, the mortality rate of men to women was around 1.2 when looking at the numbers of each who died at age 60. This means 120 men dieing at that age for every 100 women. By the end of the 19th century, however, this mortality ratio had climbed to 1.6 and it was over 2 by through the early 20th century. It is believed that heart disease and smoking together were the main cause of the difference as men were both more likely to smoke and to get heart disease.

A report published by the Orgainsation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) identifies lifespan as key societal wellness barometer. [1] The group is a forum created to improve financial, physical and mental wellbeing for all global citizens. [2] Through the organization, governments collaborate to improve the human condition. Using data gathered from various global sources, the group members make recommendations designed to improve humanity’s welfare. The research scope varies from high-level census data to detailed worldwide tax rates. Among these data, the organization recognizes remarkable improvements in human life expectancy over the last half century, which is now 80-years long. [1]

One immense issue is the welfare and health of both genders. Although some might disagree, men are the secondary when it comes to their health. In the article “Should We Pay More Attention to Men’s Health” the author, Marty Nemko brings across to us a major fact. “Men die SIX years sooner

The life expectancy of people in the United States have progressively increased since the 1930s. In the year 1930, the life expectancy of American men and women was 59 years old but in 2014, that number has increased to about 79 years old ("Life Expectancy at Birth by Race and Sex, 1930–2010"). People in the United States now live up to 20 years longer and because of the longer lifespan, more people are now developing chronic diseases that they were not before. Looking at data on people who are diagnosed with diabetes, a correlation can be seen in which as a person’s life expectancy increases, so does the number of people who have been diagnosed with diabetes. In the 1960s, the number of people in the United States who were

Although humans seem very different from one another, each human develops partly like everyone else, yet partly like no one else. Most of the time human’s attention is focused on one another’s unique qualities instead of realizing how similar humans really are. In fact, as humans, almost everyone has traveled some similar path. People such as, President Barack Obama, Joan of Arc, and Marilyn Monroe shared similar paths of life span development. Each one began to walk at approximately age one, began to talk sentences at about age four, as young children they played with toys while imagination worked wonders, and as young adults they

Ultimately it is believed that aging is the leading risk factor, and males are at a higher risk to be
