Why Women Live Longer Thon Men Wihile American nmen aogls tne opulent curves of a Monroe or Bardot, American womsn have been gettîng thinner. While American womsen sigh over the hard lean 'fram.es of Hudson avi Holdien, their own rien have beengrig fat.

That was whot the Societyv of Actuaries, which has a way -with figures, rsported last mionth. In an- atternpt ta finti out why people dis before insuronce comn- panies think thiey shi-ould, hs society compiled the weights, hieights, and causes o! death for nearly 5 million Americans whio have died in the past twsniy years. The massive report-Vths biggest statistical study Vo date in the bealth field - confirms wha ths insurance men thought ail olong: Fat Amiericons are poor insurance risks because hey are more likely ta dis of diobetes, digestive disorders, and heort dîsease. The last such stuidy wos mals in 1929. And hs average age, hieight, and weight statis tics con stili be seen on hs charts acked totchausonds cf penny scales. But even though the new average weight f or Arnericaîî moen is highier (5 pounds mors in, yaung odulthood, less' with increosing age) andi for womsni lower (by severa] pountis for- aIl ages) ths insuronce îmen are noV sugg-e-ting, that these are the bestvweighits for gôod hsalth, *They:, 1jun-d that, for bath sexes, 'the 'lowest mortality at ages over 30 wvas among people whno tipped the scales at about 20 pounds below a'verage. SWhat lias can-seçi the national ciange in weight? Goôd food, .th Vhinsurance report said, is the main reason why Amnerican rien have gained weight. As for Amnerican women, they ar lighter thon 30 years ago pri- niorily, becaiuse of "thie greater- vogue of slendei'ness."
