New Study Finds Men May Outlive Women Instead

Recent research shows that males outlive females 25 to 50 percent of the time.

In prior research, experts thought females had higher life expectancy than males. On average, American males live to 76, while females live to 81. But the reality isn’t that black and white. There’s a wide spread of lifespans within the sexes. And when ranges overlap, there’s a good chance that any male could outlive any female.

In a new study, researchers quantified the probability that a male outlived a female from the same time and place. They analyzed mortality data from 199 populations spanning all the continents, dating back to 1751.

Males outlived females 25 and 50 percent of the time, but the exact likelihood depended on demographic factors like education and marital status. “Not all females outlive males, even if a majority do. But the minority that do not is not small,” the authors say in a press release.

Once medical science conquered the issues of the risks of childbirth, women's longevity soared past men, and didn't look back,.
