Why do men die earlier than women? The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that men’s hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.

The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women’s longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.

“We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,” said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK.

“Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,” said Goldspink. “This is part of the ageing process.”

What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old woman’s heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one’s.

“This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men,” said Goldspink. They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease. “The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart,” said Goldspink.

The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.

  About 6,000doctors in the Philippines are studying to become nurses so they can find higher-paying jobs abroad, Health Secretary Francisco Duque says.

  This was up from 2,000 doctors who studied to become nurses last year, Duque said.

  The exodus of doctors and nurses had created a “threatening situation for our health care system” and a task force had been established to examine the potential impact, he said.

  The team was working on a bill which would require doctors to practice in the Philippines for at least three to four years before they were able to work abroad.

  “I think the problem really is the migration of doctors. We have so many nurses now, more than enough to fill up(vacancies). But our doctors are leaving,” Duque said.

   A study by the University of the Philippines had found that between 2000to 2003 more than 50,000 Filipino nurses went abroad to work. A doctor working in a government hospital in the Philippines earns only about 25,000 pesos(446 dollars) a month. A  doctor could earn around 8,000dollars a month while working as a nurse overseas. Even lawyers, accountants and engineers are enrolling to brain as nurses.

   Filipino nurses are in demand in Europe, the United States, the Middle East and even closer to home, such as in Singapore and Japan.

   However, Health officials have warned the country faces a “medical apocalypse” if it continues to lose its health professionals to jobs abroad.
