What a stupid statement.

"
<P class=storytext>Relatives said Christian lived alone until she turned 102 and refused to be taken in by family members. She indulged cravings for Kentucky Fried Chicken and Hostess Twinkies as long as she was able, they said."

Talk about a trooper 🙂

Grew up without telephones, cars, possibly indoor plumbing. Steam engines were the thing, . Father and uncles probably served in the civil war. There were only 42 states in the union...

Women live longer statistically. I'm not sure if it's biological or if it's because of the type of work men do vs. women.

I wouldn't want to live that long!

Yep I learned that a few years ago, does anyone know why (with scientific proof) women live longer than men?

Interesting. My grandfather was born in 1890 in Portland, OR (picture that if you will). I used to love listening to him talk about his life, very fascinating. He passed away in 1984, when I was 13.

One contributor to the gender difference in life span is the influence of sex hormones. The male hormone testosterone not only increases aggressive and competitive behavior in young men, it increases levels of harmful cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein), raising a male's chances of getting heart disease or stroke.

On the other hand, the female hormone estrogen lowers harmful cholesterol and raises "good" cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein). Emerging evidence suggests estrogen treatment after menopause reduces the risk of dying from heart disease and stroke, as well as of dying in general.

Perls and Fretts believe that longer life means survival of the fittest, and women, evolutionarily speaking, are more fit than men. The longer a woman lives and the more slowly she ages, the more offspring she can produce and rear to adulthood. Therefore, evolution would naturally select the genes of such women over those who die young.

One reason that women are hardier than men is because they have to endure labor. It's hard on the body, so it follows that the body must be tougher to sustain it. Pure speculation on my part.
 
Wow, she lived through many wars

Spanish American War
Philippine War (part of SPAM war)
WW1
WW2
Korea
6-Day War / Yum Kapur War
Vietnam
Desert Storm
Desert Storm 2k3

etc.
 
Women live longer because as the above article state, hormones are one factor.
Men are more susceptible to heart disease as well.
Female longetivity has been studied and proven long enough that it's a factor in insurance rates.
