NYC Gals Bury Guys

The Health Department reported that NYC girls born in 2006 can expect to live to 81.7-years, whereas baby boys are expected to live to only 75.9-years old. Reasons? Generally speaking, men tend to do more unhealthy things than women which may account for the disparity. New Yorkers continue to live longer than other Americans to an average age of 79. Maybe New Yorkers stick around longer here because it's too expensive to die!
