Men need more than twice as much exercise almost nine hours per week to see same benefits according to study which was publish in Nature Cardiovascular Research Journal.

Dangers included unhealthy diet lack of exercise and smoking.

In order to gain same survival advantage men need to exercise around 1.7 times as much as ladies.
The more days per week person is physically active the lower their danger of developing heart disease regardless of gender.
Women biological advantage could relate to hormones and music structure.
The hormone oestrogen promotes fast burning and has protective effect on blood vessels.

Women also have more endurance-oriented muscle fibres, the study said, while men have more muscle fibres built for power and speed.
This could explain why women’s hearts become healthier with less training.
