Expectancy of women has stopped growing

The life expectancy for women stopped increasing due to senile dementia. This is fixed for the first time in the last dozen years.

British experts have recorded the first stop in a smooth increase in life expectancy of women in the country. This figure has grown over many decades. And it was about the number of years that women can spend in relatively strong health. And now this indicator has stalled or even slightly declined, which is due to the spread of incurable senile dementia. Today, British women can expect a healthy life expectancy at the level of 63.9 years. This is slightly less than those of 64.1 years, which were planned in the period from 2009 to 2011. While the same indicator for men has not changed, as noted by Public Health England.

These figures are the British themselves do not consider particularly optimistic, because they show that British women are among the most painful in Europe, especially when compared with British men. Of the 28 countries of the European Union strongholds health of the British women held 18-th line, and the men 10th. Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia is currently the main cause of death among women, accounting for 15.8% of all deaths. Experts believe that the impact of this disease on life expectancy has doubled over the last 7 years.

Women suffer from senile dementia more often than men. Scientists explain genetic features and the fact that fewer women die from coronary heart disease after 50 and 60 years. This means that if men are not faced with these diseases, they just have better health, which protects them from dementia. (READ MORE)
