Lancet study about health: Men have a higher risk of premature death than women. However, women have a higher risk of becoming ill during their lifetime. This is according to new research from the Lancet Public Health journal, based on data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021, which shows big differences in the risk of 20 major diseases between men and women over the past 30 years.
Women live longer than men
Although not fatal for women, common musculoskeletal diseases, mental health conditions and headaches are responsible for poor health. Which is more common in women. These diseases increase with age, and because women live longer than men, they are more exposed to lifelong disease and disability.
Whereas Covid-19, road accidents, heart disease, respiratory and liver diseases cause premature death in men.
Treatment should be according to age and gender
Dr Luisa Sorio Flor of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington in the US said, “Biological and social differences between men and women in different regions of the world have increased over time and the impact of various diseases on them has decreased. “They can be different and sometimes even equal, so they should be treated according to their age and sex to prevent premature death.”
