Demography is the science of population, today it is of interest not only to scientists, but also to ordinary citizens. This area of knowledge offers not only dry statistics of the percentage of the inhabitants of the state that differ in some specific characteristics, but also offers very specific figures. Among the most interesting for the public is life expectancy and its division into special periods. Do you know, for example, what is the average age of men in Russia today?
In the prime of life
There is a stable expression “middle age”, we all have heard something about the emotional and psychological crisis characteristic of this period, but not everyone knows exactly when it occurs. In demography, this term is used to refer to the median value calculated for all people who participated in the study. In everyday life, such a definition is often interpreted incorrectly, namely, perceiving it as half of the scientifically calculated total life expectancy. In fact, the average age of men isan indicator of interest specifically for specialists studying the population of the state as a whole. There is no need to take it emotionally and try it on yourself, the life expectancy of each person depends on a whole set of factors, a significant part of which relates to self-care for he alth.
Mean age of men in Russia: numbers
According to last year's statistics, the average age for the male population in the Russian Federation is 35 years. An interesting fact is that while the media are talking about the lack of representatives of the stronger sex, in fact more boys are born in our country. Out of a hundred babies born: 51 children are male, and the remaining 49 babies are female. But at the same time, only 95% of men manage to celebrate their thirtieth birthday, and 89% of the total number of births survive to the age of forty. At the same time, during a lifetime, the number of male and female representatives is indeed compared. After the fiftieth birthday, women really become about 16% more than their male peers.
What affects a person's lifespan?
Statistics of life expectancy in Russia against the background of world indicators is quite low, if we talk about men. This trend is explained by a number of factors. Many representatives of the stronger sex in our country work in harmful conditions, the professions of others are associated with high risk. But there are chemical industries, fire protection and security services in all states. Occupational risks in the Russian Federation have such a high impact on human he alth and life due to the use of outdated equipment and technologies at many industrial facilities, as well as non-compliance with job descriptions by staff. If we turn to the statistics of industrial accidents, a significant percentage of them occur precisely due to the fault of employees or due to excessive wear and tear of equipment. The average age of men in Russia is quite low and due to their own fault: addiction to bad habits, love for extreme hobbies, indifference to their own mental and physical he alth.
How to live longer?
There is no universal secret to longevity. But there is an interesting fact: the average age of life for men is slightly higher for those who are married. However, this is easy to explain rationally - the spouses take care of each other, in addition, many of the stronger sex after the wedding and the birth of children feel responsible for their loved ones and try to behave more prudently, avoiding unnecessary risks and dubious entertainment.
In general, it is not difficult to improve the quality (and possibly increase the duration) of your own life: you need to monitor your diet and lifestyle in general, regularly undergo examinations with doctors and follow their instructions, and also monitor your morale and strive for inner harmony. If all the representatives of the stronger sex in our country try to follow these simple rules, perhaps the averagethe age of men in Russia will noticeably increase.
