There was no significance about the average of life expectancy and the period of caregiving they expected among men and women. In fact, women might live a life longer than men and the period of needed caregiving among women might be longer than among men. Some attention should be paid to the consideration about the plan later in life. Women might tend to consider their self-care deeply later in their life.
