Annotation | During 2006, even in the poorest countries, women can expect to outlive men. This short article notes some landmark years in recording mortality trends in European countries. An important factor in this trend has been greater emancipation for women to demand better health care, which must however be tempered by the desire to smoke. (RH). |
