| Annotation | Women everywhere are living longer than men, but the longevity of women is offset by a higher sickness rate than that of men, with women suffering more from non-lethal diseases. This article looks at mortality rates and calculations of life expectancy. It notes that whereas in 1997, 61% of the world's women age 80+ live in developed countries, by 2025 most of them will be living in developing countries. (RH). |
