Men no longer work in toxic environments remnant of the early industrial age. And men are smoking less, playing more, and changing their diets to avoiding the effects of heart disease.
Women are smoking more and getting fat. Estimates for the USA predict over 50% of the adult population will be obese, but for women that stat soars to 75%. Minority women are at even higher risks for all of these factors.
Once it was guessed genetics or hormones played the major role, but that has apparently been dispelled. Women can no longer assume they will inherit the nest egg and outlive their mates.
