    Default Monks and nuns have the same life expectancy

    It has been a trend for several decades that in the general population women live few years longer than men on average.

    However, in cloisters the gap disappears: nuns live about as long as women in the general population, and so do monks.

    This is based on a German study (small decline in life expectancy for monks in the 1970s coincides with permitting monks to smoke cigarettes):

    Male life expectancy is brought down due to the fact that males have a higher suicide rate.
