For a long time, people generally believe that women live longer than men. However, according to the "Guardian" reported on August 3, the latest research shows that the probability of marriage or college education is greater than the longevity of women who do not have a spouse or a low education.

On August 2nd, a study published by Danish scholars on BMJ Open concluded that men have a high probability of longevity than women, especially those who are married or highly educated.

The study was based on the life data of men and women in the past 200 years in 199 countries, and questioned the long -lived views of women's longevity than men.

Researchers use the "probability of men to live longer than women" to measure the unequal life between gender. Study conclusions show that during the 0 -year -old man and a woman randomly paired, in the life table of almost all years since 1751, the probability of men's longevity than women changed between 25%and 50%.

Researchers emphasized that the conclusion of women's longevity than men's longevity through comparative life span may be a "simplified measurement measure".

The rise and decline of the expected life span is mainly due to the differences between smoking and other gender behavior. The study states: "Blind interpretation of the expected life span sometimes leads to distortions of (life expectancy) actual inequality."

The research report shows: "Although men's expectations are generally lower than women, and men's mortality rates are usually higher at all ages, men have a high probability than women."

In addition, the article also wrote: "Men who are married or have a college degree often have a greater probability of longevity than women who have unmarried or have no high diploma." It is even more inequality in terms of life. "
