Are women generally more healthy than men throughout their lives? I want to understand why women tend to live longer than their husbands? Any ideas why?
Simple. Women go to the doctor more often and men don't because they think they are being sissies or not macho if they go to the doctor for anything that isn't life threatening. Men don't express their emotions as much as women so their lives tend to have more inner termoil and stress that accumulates. Men are also expected to be more succesful than women and to make tons of money. For all these reaons, men don't live as long.
I think that women use their heart more then men. Not physically but more emotionally. Maybe it does something to the body. I even found this

I think it has something to do with the fact that women are more self-sufficient. They don't need someone else to cook their meals, do their laundry, etc. They can form relationships with people of the same sex and form emotional bonds that help them through the difficult times (those same difficult times that men are likely to hold inside and cause them stress and a premature death).
