为什么女性比男性长寿(含部分翻译)

男性基础代谢要比女性高5%-7%,即能量消耗要比女性高。

The metabolic rate of men is faster than women’s and according to the comparison among animals, the slower the metabolic rate is, the longer the life is.

女人的造血功能一般都高于男人，生命的活力和耐力比男人大

Compared with men, women have the better ability of repair themselves, especially the hemopoietic system is, which products the bloods in our body.

女性器官更易保持年轻。雌激素类物质能够促进内皮血管的扩张，保护内皮细胞的血氧供应，使得女性发生心血管疾病的风险要比男性低得多。英国利物浦约翰摩尔大学细胞及分子运动学教授大卫·葛兹平克分析说，和男性不同的是，70岁女性的心脏能保持着20岁时的强健有力。“我们发现，男性在18—70岁时，心脏活力会衰减20%—25%；到70岁后，其心脏向全身供血的能力最多可减少为年轻时的3/4。而与之形成鲜明对比的是，没有任何证据显示同年龄范围的女性，其心脏会日渐衰弱。”同时，女性的脑萎缩比男性慢。这要归功于女性更喜欢用自己的眼睛看、耳朵听，然后经过大脑思考和感受，用自己的语言表达出来。这有利于刺激大脑，保持活力。

The organs of women keep healthy more easily, while the men’s organs age much more quickly. For example, the hearts ,of most 70-year-old women, are as strong as the ones they have when they are 20 . But when a man is 70 yers old, the capability of his heart to transport bloods will decreases by 1/4 .
