Life Expectancy Of Women Is Higher, Not Healthier In India: Report
According to a report, the average Indian women live three years more than men. However, a longer life span doesn’t guarantee a healthy lifestyle. Poonam Muttreja, Executive Director of Population Foundation of India said that "older women have higher risks of cardiovascular diseases and suffer from poor nutrition than men." Though women have a higher life expectancy, the healthy living statistics diminish to 2.4 years.
