Although men are physically stronger, it turns out the average life expectancy of women is higher. Maybe it's because women are generally more concerned with his health. In fact one study found that 80 percent of people who live and can reach 100 years of age are women.
The research was conducted in the United States by the census or the U.S. Census Bureau. Found there are 53,364 people aged over 100 years in the U.S. in 2010, more than 80 percent of whom are women. Of every 100 women aged over 100 years old, found only 20.7 males.
People who are awarded longevity until past 100 years the title of centenarians. The amount is very little by comparison less than 2 people in a population of 10,000 people or 19 people total of 10,000 people aged 70 years and over in the U.S..
As quoted from HealthDay, Thursday (12/13/2012), about 62 percent of centenarians aged 100-101 years old and 92 percent aged 100-104 years. For people aged 110 years or so-called Supercentenarians, represents only 0.6 percent of the entire population of centenarians in the U.S..
Distribution in the U.S. centerinarian uneven when viewed from ethnicity. A total of 82.5 percent of centenarians are white, while the white population as a whole was 72.4 percent. Hispanics accounted for 5.8 percent of the number of centenarians, while the population was 16.3 percent of the total population.
A total of 35.2 percent of female centenarians living in nursing homes. But overall, the centenarians are more likely to live with other people in the house. Centenarians of white people most likely to live alone.
Nearly 86 percent of centenarians live in the big cities in the U.S. such as California, New York, Florida and Texas. The survey was conducted in the U.S. which is famous for its culture of junk food. In Indonesia alone, somehow the result.
