【寫在最后】

不婚不育芳齡永繼可能有其科學(xué)道理，近期的一些研究表明：交配是一種資源損耗，延遲交配居然會增加生物的壽命。一項針對紅蜘蛛螨的研究表明：對雌性而言，節(jié)食和延遲交配可增加壽命。但對雄性，節(jié)食則會縮短壽命。延遲交配并不影響壽命。另一項針對老鼠的研究表明：在生命前期頻繁交配而不生育將對雌鼠壽命產(chǎn)生不利影響，而前期生育并不會造成雌鼠壽命顯著縮短。

根據(jù)世界衛(wèi)生組織發(fā)布的《2019年世界衛(wèi)生統(tǒng)計》報告，全球范圍內(nèi)女性預(yù)期壽命均超過男性。國家衛(wèi)健委2018年的統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù)顯示，我國女性的平均壽命是77.37歲，而男性只有72.38歲，差了整整五歲。目前，我國人均預(yù)期壽命提高到77.93歲，估計男性依然拖了后腿。
