Why do women live longer than men? • FRANCE 24 English

Why is there such a gender gap when it comes to which sex lives the longest? Globally, women tend to outlive men by at least five years. Yet why do doctors and researchers consistently fail to understand the inequality between the sexes when it comes to the ageing process? Annette Young talks to Dr Saher Mehdi, an Indian longevity scientist. Also, the focus may be on the new and first American pope of the Catholic Church but what about the women who make up half of the church? We report on how nuns are calling for greater inclusion as well as recognition of sexual abuse. Plus, with the Women’s Rugby World Cup around the corner, interest in the game is on the rise among young women in the UK and here in France.
