Over the last century, life expectancy has slowly and steadily increased, which has been attributed to the evolution of medicine and changes in the American lifestyle, with an emphasis on healthier habits and regular exercise. However, one thing that remains the same is the gender gap.
Over the last century, life expectancy has slowly and steadily increased, which has been attributed to the evolution of medicine and changes in the American lifestyle, with an emphasis on healthier habits and regular exercise. However, one thing that remains the same is the gender gap. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), women tend to live an average of 5 years longer than men.1 While this gender gap in life expectancy is not a new phenomenon, researchers suggest there are many reasons that contribute to this ratio shift that favors women. This includes biological factors such as hormonal influences on physiology and behavior, and environmental factors, such as cultural influences on gender differences in health behaviors. As a result of perceived vulnerability, denial and traditional macho views on masculinity, men tend to underuse primary and mental health care services and are less likely to seek medical attention early and adhere to medical treatment, if diagnosed.2
Hormones are essential for life as they help to optimize all aspects of health and performance. From growth development and reproduction to metabolism, mood and sleep cycles, hormones play a crucial role in many different processes in the body. While men and women have the same basic hormones, the levels of two of the major sex hormones, estrogen and progesterone, are generally higher for women with a vastly different pattern of production that changes over time and throughout their lifespan. This makes hormonal balance especially critical for women’s health. While this balance can be disrupted in many ways, including the natural fluctuations that occur during puberty and menopause, simple dietary and lifestyle changes can help restore proper levels of hormones.
