Short people may live longer than most, but why? Here’s what two prominent longevity experts say.
, estimate that the average height for women on a global scale, is 159.5 cm, which is around 5-foot-3.
The big difference between the height of men and women is due to differences in levels of the growth hormone, Sinclair says, which is much higher in women."It is known that growth hormone levels do influence longevity," he adds.Robine's hypothesis for why women live longer is simply this:"Women are more resistant to mortality [and] to death than men because they are just resisting more to difficulties.
Women may also feel responsible for not only their own lives, but also for their children's lives, he adds. With this in mind,"they have to be stronger," and hang on a bit longer than men. "As long as a man is staying healthy without disability, his level of mortality is the same as the level of a woman," Robine says."[But] men are poorly surviving if they are not in very good health. And women are much more resistant to 'not perfect' health."
Robine finds this fascinating:"It's just so amazing women are living longer because it is well-known and well-acknowledged that our societies are not treating women very well, so we would expect the opposite.", which distills the billionaire's No. 1 best piece of advice for regular investors, do's and don'ts, and three key investing principles into a clear and simple guidebook.
