What causes heart decrease in men? They should have referred to that. Is it related to men doing harder labor?

I suspect that if it isn't the hard work, then it's the double cheeseburgers, and other easily available, artery clogging fuel, men need in a hurry to do the hard manual labor men must do to make their living. Of course the stress to pay the misandrist, exhorbitent child support, alimony and other court ordered rip offs adds to the shortening of men's lives.
I guess it's really in the government's "best interest" to kill those who have paid so much into social security before they collect too much of it.

Don't forget, men and women used to live to the same age practically, just less than a hundred years ago... there's a lot of factors that must derive from the modern times that cause men to die younger. Men are taught not to seek care for fear of being unmasculine, men are greater risk takers, men have more stressful jobs...

Men are less likely to be looked after by their family, men are less loved, men are bombarded with pictures of unrespectable, incompetent males in the media constantly...

I think I saw charts about this a long time ago... there was a life expectancy gap between men and women even in 1900, but the difference was only 2-3 years, not 7 or more like it is now. Life exptectancies of both sexes went up during the 1900s (although men had dips in mid-to-late 1910s and early 1940s -- I wonder why), with women gaining more all the time.
One possible explanation for the growing gap is the fact that while men still die in construction sites etc. as they did in the year 1900, just about no woman dies in childbirth in the industrialized world these days. That is, of course, a good thing (and that horrible, oppressive, sexist patriarchal science is to thank for it).

The article says that men 50-70 who did a lot of exercise have the same pumping capacity as 20s-ish undergrads, so I would guess the answer is no.

If women died 7 to 8 years earlier than men, how much do you want to bet the media would report on it daily and call it a "national disgrace"? And probably the feminists would liken it to ""genocide" by the patriarchy".

The gap in life expenctancy is the one towering issue that needs to be solved before all other areas of men's activism.
The way things are now, the fact that there are more women (and an even greater excess of women voters) ensures that politicians will put women's issues ahead of men's. And it's a disparity that will only feed on itself in a vicious circle: more women voters -> more attention to women's health -> an even greater longevity gap.
We need to everything we can to get men living 85-90 years on average. Once this happens, a whole lot of other issues become easier to address.

Women are reaching a plateau in longevity, whereas men who r going to doctors more than ever are improving still... there was even a hypothesis that men could outlive women in the next hundred years, but that's skeptical. Good news is, men ARE living longer and closing the gap.

Don't be a door-knob.
WHERE did anyone say, in ANY of the posts in this thread, that they want women to die sooner than men? WHERE?
Why is it that when men simply seek eqaulity and pairity with women it is automaticaly assumed that men want the opposite extreame?
I am really sick of people like you.
Let me ask YOU a question. Do you WANT men to die sooner than women?
And please don't act all insulted because I've turned the question around on you, just ansewer the d@#%ed question. If not then just shut the h&!! up.
I really am sick of it.

I'll take the bait, Thundercloud.
YES, we want women to die earlier than men. Since, in the average married couple, the husband is older, I want men to live that number of years longer so that couples can be together until the end of their natural lives, and the average amount of time spent (by either spouse) greiving over their lost beloved is minimal.
Seriously, though, Anonymous, I pointed out how women's longevity has given them an excess of political power. I also expressed my desire for men to live longer, not for women to start dying sooner. Nobody is so callous as to want to retard human progress out of spite.

YES, the radical feminists are capable of that kind of evil. It's the kind of evil eerily familiar to what we have said time and again on this site--the Nazis.
