There would seem to be
no simple explanation as to gender differences in health.
Men are generally stronger and have fewer disabilities
than women. Yet men have a higher mortality rate at all
ages when compared with women. According to Wikipedia
accessed on June 19, 2009 the world life expectancy for
men is 64.3 and for females 68.5 years in 2008. In the
USA, the expectancy rates are 75.19 years for males and
81.15 years for females
