Why Men's Noses Are Bigger Than Women's

Have you ever wondered why men have bigger noses than their female counterparts?  Here is a news report to help you.

The study was made by researchers at the University of Iowa. They confirmed that, on average, men's noses are 10% larger than women's noses.

 

According to the investigators, who analyzed nose size in European populations, the size difference is as a result of different body build between both sexes, alongside different energy demands.

They explained that in general, men have more lean muscle mass than women, which means they need more oxygen to encourage muscle growth and maintenance.

They said that men have larger noses so they can inhale more oxygen, which is then transported to the blood before reaching the muscle.
