But, as you noted, that may be changing as women's lives and priorities change. Just a personal example: I've noticed, in the past few years, that many more of my bright, hard-working, highly motivated female college classmates from Northwestern have died than my male classmates by quite a margin. Just counting my good and close college friends, I've lost 16 female friends and only one male friend. All of these women were as ambitious and career focused as men and many were loving, involved parents as well. Maybe the stress of multiple roles... who knows? But I think your tips on living longer resonate for all of us!<br />Dr. Kathy McCoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02903015507894951725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-43025449694216784842018-10-05T14:09:23.243-04:002018-10-05T14:09:23.243-04:00My comment to the other post was that my last flu ...My comment to the other post was that my last flu shot did not work. I've recently seen an article or two saying that last year's shot was not great but you really need it for this year's and it will work. So I guess I will bite the bullet after all and go get my shotBarbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16894294588507668479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-84668010268020747452018-10-05T00:32:56.519-04:002018-10-05T00:32:56.519-04:00This is a very timely post, Tom.

I just finished reading an article (on CNN) that stated "Nearly half of women (compared to one-third of men) over the age of 45 will develop Parkinson's, dementia or stroke during their lifetime." Although longevity is still slightly higher for women, quality of life is a concern as these numbers are alarmingly high.retirementreflectionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256842249783275416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-74859902957955737842018-10-04T10:31:12.061-04:002018-10-04T10:31:12.061-04:00I wouldn't argue with Anon about smoking and s...I wouldn't argue with Anon about smoking and seatbelts. But, Diane, I agree with you about stress. I remember the last few years I was working, in a very stressful situation. I had terrible back pains. I went to physical therapy, wore a neck collar, did lots of other things. As soon as I retired, and the stress went away, so did the back pain. I've been fine ever since. I think I'd be dead by now if I was still working in my old company.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611148987085476580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-20708218165086707032018-10-04T09:05:12.654-04:002018-10-04T09:05:12.654-04:00I'd choose 'dealing with stress' as th...I'd choose 'dealing with stress' as the most critical of the strategies to assure long life. I may be speaking for myself, but I suspect that stress is a killer. Meditating, or controlling thoughts, or just generally distracting myself are some ways I deal with the stress in my life. That's not to say I'm always successful!Diane Dahlihttp://www.stilltheluckyfew.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-34945046677821462982018-10-03T21:26:45.897-04:002018-10-03T21:26:45.897-04:00Very thoughtful comments!

As the roles of women in society and their social habits have changed over the last few decades so has their susceptibility to various health problems. It will be interesting to see what happens to gender longevity as we move into the future.

My husband has already gotten his flu shot and I'm still procrastinating. I do see the doctor annually, and he doesn't, but all the other things you point out about gender differences are true for us. He was reckless as a young man, but no longer. I have always been a risk taker, but in my golden years I seem to have mellowed. :-)DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.com
