LongLife

 Surprise for me, this morning, on my trek through various media.

Life expectancy in France, is weighted in favour of women. I already

knew this as a general principle  and thought - like many others - that 

it was due to behavioural factors: men are greater risk-takers, they fight 

in wars and so forth. Turns out NOT. Men and women currently live similar 

lifestyles but the differences are even stronger. 


And oestrogen and genetics play a role.
