The song about the fact that ten girls according to statistics, nine children, could become the anthem of our sociologists. Because it's the truth. That is, boys and girls are born approximately equally, but already in adolescence this disproportion arises, and the further - the worse. Who was in the Savings Bank, when they give out pensions, he noticed: at the window waiting for their turn some old women.

The same trends exist all over the world - even in the most developed countries men live 7-8 years less than women. Another question is that we have an average life expectancy of the first - 59 years, and in rich countries it exceeds 70. And more: nowhere in the West there is such a huge difference between the life spans of men and women, like ours - 13 years.

But do not think that every man is doomed to go into another world in 59 years. This is the averaged figure. In fact, the maximum number of deaths is not at this age, but in the young years. In Russia, male mortality at the age of 20-30 years is three to four times higher than the female. In fact, this is typical for the belligerent countries, and we seem to be for peace in the whole world ... And health is in the tenth place, and the main problem is universal sloppiness. Monstrous drunkenness - there is no such thing in the world - leads to illnesses, misfortunes and crimes. We have an extremely high level of injuries and accidents, huge deaths from road accidents, the highest level of suicides (the lion's share is committed in a drunken state), and we are also at one of the first places in the world in terms of murders. Young men do not die with us, they perish. And stress - what stress ... No matter how we searched, we could not find any studies that indicated a link between high levels of social stress and high male mortality. But between drunkenness and mortality, the connection is the most direct one.

But science also has comforting facts. People who are wealthier and educated live longer - this is the case throughout the world.

If we talk about Russia, then a man who wants to raise grandchildren should have a higher education ... and hold a chief office. With education, everything is clear: it leads to a higher and healthier living standard of living, but here about the management work - here is the question. On the one hand, it promotes the growth of well-being, on the other hand it satisfies one of the basic male needs: the need for power and self-affirmation. What is important here - science has not yet figured out medicus. En.
