 In 2006, the first time in history, women live longer than men in all countries of the world. Immediately after the blonde, policemen and politicians, are the most popular in our country, Indian jokes about what it came to the doctor. In cross it breaks, it breaks head. And so you can talk endlessly. Meanwhile, all indications are that it is not ladies, but men should become a permanent medical clinic regulars.
Why? There are more listening to your body, are under constant scrutiny gynecologist. Meanwhile, a man till 30 age seems to be indestructible. It is tough and ignorant until they get a heart attack -, a psychologist. - And as for jokes, then, if women do not get into hypochondria, going to the doctor comes to them only for good. Kayak in one of his iconic songs he sings: "If I could be a man one day, surely I would be Superman, so I know about women. I am one of them. " The woman in the role. There is nothing surprising in this. For the ladies no longer enjoy good health, are taken less serious illnesses, often avoid the flu is not only trivial, but serious cancer. Proof? Just some statistics. Women represent over half of the Polish population. 100 males per 106 females. However, the numerical excess of women occurs only in the age group 40-44 years. Since this age also increases rapidly. Among those who ended 65 years of age in 100 males have more than 160 women. That life expectancy. Not much better is its quality. The report of the World Health Organization (WHO) show that Poles now live in a healthy average of 64.3 years. What problems in men begin to circle 62 years of age and in women until much later. Sex beauty the real reasons for the complaints have started only after completing exactly 66 years and six months. This could have added the stressful lifestyle and hard work. Immediately, however, increase the voices, that is pure theory and the era of universal equality ladies working as hard working and often even harder on their fathers, husbands and sons. Worse still, acquire a lot of harmful habits, hitherto regarded as typically masculine. Meanwhile, the year 2006 will go down in history with a special reason. Here it turned out that the first time in history, women live longer than men in all countries of the world, even in the poorest. What then lies the secret of women's longevity and making it fair sex in health alive venerable old age! Moment, the moment! How fair sex? Well, unless someone was thinking of men! ... GM discriminated against. Men die more often than women in all age groups, but this surplus ranges from a few percent among children aged 1-4 years to approximately 300% among those aged 20-24. All major causes of death are the greater threat for men than for women, and the largest difference occurs in the case of death due to injuries and poisonings. The difference in the intensity of mortality for men and women affected by a much shorter average life expectancy for men, the outgoing similar average for women. And this despite constantly improve the living conditions. The situation is particularly dramatic in the two age groups of men: 35-44 and 45-54. Here, mortality increased as compared, for example, 1970, and among 55-64-year olds only in 2001 reached a level lower than 30 years earlier. Speaking professional language of statistics, the excess mortality increased from about 40% at the beginning of the 60s to over 80% in the early 90s And after 2001 remained at 79%. For comparison of the EU average excess mortality of men compared to women is smaller and ranges from 65%. - Everywhere in the world, men live shorter than women. But why, it is almost nine years difference? - Peter wonders. - a country in transition. We lack the emotional stability and life. And absurdities of everyday life is with us far more than in the West. Although they often fall victim to ladies (458 cases per 100 thousand. Population, men - 441), but is mainly due to the fact that women live longer. - And after the elimination of the age factor, it appears that cardiovascular disease To you on there is no such protection, which biology has given to a woman. It's about hormones, specifically estrogen, which safeguard the fair sex largely against atherosclerosis. At that time men often pay high bills for an unhealthy lifestyle. And even if you have any time to repent, throw smoke, good-bye with strong drinks, the sins of his youth will give to manifest itself. Another on the list of cancer killers. And again, it appears that for the chosen target mainly men. This is primarily a cancer, bronchitis and pneumonia. Next are the diseases of the digestive system of the most common cause of death - all kinds of complications of liver disease. Men also dominate here, which to some extent could be explained by lifestyle, namely cigarettes and alcohol. And what about men's willingness to take risks, love of fast machines on roads at breakneck speed? Even in the early 90s number of deaths due to injuries in was higher than the average for European countries as much as 62% for men and almost 20% for women. And when to add that these external causes are usually a consequence of road accidents, everything suddenly becomes clear! It's not the end of this sad for men. It appears that genetics also clearly discriminates against the ugly sex. - What's the secret of women's longevity? This, of course, the impact of factors such as different than men diet, lifestyle, hormones, reactions to stress. But, as was shown by studies conducted in our laboratory, genetics also is about a lot to say - convinces Doc. Eve the Department of Molecular Genetics and Clinical Genetics, Institute for Human Sciences. - The WHO data shows that women achieve an average life expectancy of over 80 years in 34 countries, but men - in either one. For years, scientists, journalists and waged a discussion on the reasons for female longevity. Certainly, this phenomenon has many causes. According to some evolutionists, natural selection has adapted the body of women to the birth of five-six children. Modern ladies normally spend less offspring into the world or even to abandon it (30% of German women have no children and is a situation unprecedented in human history). Therefore, the body does not use all the forces and resources "for multiple motherhood. They were, "invested" in a longer life. Furthermore, evolution shaped women so that they can not only bear children, but also lived long enough to educate them. Moreover, women received a bonus of an evolutionary, not only taking care of their children, but also taking care of young grandchildren. American scientists from Harvard, who studied a number of people aged over 100 years old, came to the conclusion that women in menopause helps to achieve longevity, which is not present in most animals. Thomas Perls, geriatrician at Harvard Medical School, indicates that the menopause protects women against the risk of late pregnancy, which may be dangerous for them (perinatal complications are very serious in the human species, the child has such a large head that barely passes through the genital route) . Menopause has become a life-saving biological mechanism. Therefore, ladies live long enough to deal with children and even grandchildren. Grandmothers are also in much better shape from the rapidly aging grandparents ... Group of British researchers from John Moores University in Liverpool drew attention to the striking fact. While the 70-year-old men have heart 70-year olds, in the breasts of their contemporaries are still beating heart of 20-year-old girls. Prof. David Goldspink and his colleagues evaluated 24 months in 250 volunteers aged 18 to 80 years. All these people were healthy, but not practiced sports, were not physically active. It turned out that the strength of the male heart is reduced by up to one-quarter between 18 and 70 age, but the power of women's heart remains in the same time. Scientists have discovered with astonishment that the 70 age, men lose one third of the cells in the walls myocardial infarction, but in women this loss does not occur. It is difficult to explain the reasons for this phenomenon. Estrogen, or "female" hormone, protects the woman's heart. After menopause, the levels in the body is rapidly declining, but women do not suffer heart of this prejudice. Men can improve the condition of his heart, if you play sports. Heart of 70-year old athlete is as smooth as the 20-year olds, which is not physically active. Only a few men that decides on such an active life (...) Medicine: characteristics of women (...) Fortunately, there are and the positive signals. In recent years the life expectancy gap between men and women in developed Western countries begin to decline and the shadow of a chance that a few decades, completely disappears. In the U.S., this difference is the smallest since 1946, and its causes must be sought in the fact that women increasingly assume masculine (read: unhealthy) lifestyles. In many Western countries, more girls smoke than boys. In turn, prof. Danny Dorling believes that nicotine may soon significantly shorten the lives of women from Third World countries. These regions of the globe are now the main field of expansion of tobacco companies. In developed countries ladies also include positions of responsibility in world politics, the economy, which exposes them to additional stress and causes that are taken on a typically male cardiovascular ailments. Therefore, prof. Dorling highlights: - If you ever want to die later, it is necessary that the men took over some female characteristics, and not vice versa. |
