Women in developed countries have decreased the gender gap in life expectancy and are now living longer than males; but, in a number of health domains, they endure earlier and more severe disease with inferior results. Gender continues to be a major social determinant of health because women's health is influenced not only by their biology but also by external factors such as poverty, job, and family responsibilities. While the rates of the primary causes of death in men and women are similar, women have different experiences. Lung cancer has surpassed all other malignancies as the main cause of cancer death in women, followed by breast cancer, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, and cervical cancer. Cardiovascular disease, depression, dementia, osteoporosis, and anemia are other major health issues for women.
