It might not be THE key reason, but you could probably take out the riskiest habits that contribute to a shorter lifespan (and the main reasons women live a whole 5 years longer than men), like alcoholism, chronic smoking, drug use... and if you haven't abused such things for decades of your life (and that probably goes for food/obesity, too) and have bigger shit to deal with, muscle mass and related issues are probably up there on the list of being pretty damn important. |
Yea I was going to respond to the earlier post about women outliving men has more to do with men doing things that
shorten their lives at a much higher frequency than women.
