Why do females naturally have a longer life expectancy

Because they care about their health more than males.

Women are protected by hormones. Men die because of cardiovascular problems more often. More women have autoimmuno diseases, but it's harder to die of autoimmuno than f.e. heartattack.

It's a pity that it doesn't let you skip questions. I don't know how much I weigh, so I couldn't complete the test. I'm presuming that my weight is slightly below average, because I'm not fatter or thinner than most other males but I do have less muscle than usual. If anybody knows what the average weight for 5'6" male is, let me know so I can finish the test.

Probably 125lbs, I'm guessing.

First time I took the test, my result was 80; second time my result was 79. Both times said I was living a healthy lifestyle, probably because I don't smoke, I don't drink (I'm not even of drinking age, though), and I've never been in automobile accidents (I don't drive).

132 to 154 lbs, most common 143
It depends on body type.

Result is total crap, the most important are genes. Don't care.

Actually it tells you the BMI and I think 125lbs is too low. It tells you what a healthy BMI should be.

90.

My problem at the moment is anxiety, which is probably related to stress. I have panic attacks frequently and am a complete hypochondriac. I'm working on solving those problems, though.
