Worldwide, women live an average four years longer than men.
WOMEN HEALTH: KEY FACTS
In 2011, women's life expectancy at birth was more than 80 years in 46 countries, but only 58 years in the WHO African Region.
Girls are far more likely than boys to suffer sexual abuse.
Road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death among adolescent girls in high- and upper-middle-income countries.
Almost all (99%) of the approximate 287 000 maternal deaths every year occur in developing countries.
Globally, cardiovascular disease, often thought to be a "male" problem, is the number one killer of women.
Breast cancer is the leading cancer killer among women aged 20–59 years worldwide.
Infancy and childhood (0-9 years)
Both death rates and the causes of death are similar for boys and girls during infancy and childhood. Prematurity, birth asphyxia and infections are the main causes of death during the first month of life, which is the time of life when the risk of death is the highest.
Pneumonia, prematurity, birth asphyxia and diarrhoea are the main causes of death during the first five years of life. Malnutrition is a major contributing factor in 45% of deaths in children aged less than 5 years.
Adolescent girls (10-19 years)
Mental health and injuries
Self-inflicted injuries, road traffic injuries and drowning are among the main causes of death worldwide in adolescent girls.
Depressive disorders and – in adolescents aged 15-19 years, schizophrenia – are leading causes of ill health.
