Although aging is a conserved phenomenon across evolutionary distant species, aspects of
the aging process have been found to differ between males and females of the same …

Aging is a complex biological process characterized by hallmark features accumulating over
the life course, shaping the individual's aging trajectory and subsequent disease risks. There …

Aging is characterized by decreasing physiological integration, reduced function, loss of
resilience, and increased risk of death. Paradoxically, although women live longer, they …

It is well known that women live longer than men. This gap is observed in most human
populations and can even reach 10–15 years. In addition, most of the known super …

A robust, often underappreciated, feature of human biology is that women live longer than
men not just in technologically advanced, low-mortality countries such as those in Europe or …

Why do the two sexes have different lifespans and rates of aging? Two hypotheses based
on asymmetric inheritance of sex chromosomes (“unguarded X”) or mitochondrial genomes …

Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the copious evidence for the robustness of
women's survival advantage, discusses some of the extant evolutionary and mechanistic …

Importance Sex differences in genetic associations with human longevity remain largely
unknown; investigations on this topic are important for individualized health care. Objective …

Sex differences in aging occur in many animal species, and they include sex differences in
lifespan, in the onset and progression of age‐associated decline, and in physiological and …

Sex differences in longevity can provide insights into novel mechanisms of aging, yet they
have been little studied. Surprisingly, sex-specific longevity patterns are best known in wild …
