Rusia mantiene una de las diferencias más grandes entre la esperanza de vida de las mujeres y los hombres del mundo, siendo esta distancia de 11,3 años en 2013. Mientras que la esperanza de vida de una mujer rusa es de 76 años, la de un hombre ronda los 65.
El ultimo párrafo es el más interesante para mi (junto con el gráfico).
What’s surprising about this chart (at least to the layperson – folks who work on Russian mortality already know this) is that the most excess male death occurs not at working ages, but in early older ages. What’s more, the largest part of the sex difference is not from accidents and external causes, but from cardiovascular diseases, which account for over four years of the life expectancy difference. Accidents and external causes are still quite important, contributing about 2.8 years of lost male life expectancy, and playing an especially important role for younger adult men. It’s also worth noting that much of this excess cardiovascular mortality may also be alcohol-related; the ebb and flow of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular deaths in Russia is intimately tied to alcohol consumption. But the sex difference is not just due to an epidemic of violent deaths and accidents. This is good news, because it means that both alcohol policy and other measures – such as improved health care, better prevention and monitoring of cardiovascular disease, and lifestyle changes such as better diet and more exercise – can go a long way toward improving Russian men’s demographic profile.
Entiendo que en artículo dice que sobre todo mueren jóvenes... ok, pero el hecho de que el varon ruso medio trabaja todo el día, todos los días creo que ayuda mucho.
