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 …

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

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 …

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 …

All mammalian cells use similar molecular mechanisms to regulate growth, replication,
differentiation and death. Even specialized cells, such as fibroblasts or secretory epithelial …

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 …

In human populations, women consistently outlive men, which suggests profound biological
foundations for sex differences in survival. Quantifying whether such sex differences are also …

Organism envy afflicts most researchers who work on aging in mice; how frustrating it is to
see the worm and fly biologists nail down milestone after milestone, citation after citation …

In most mammals, both sexes display different survival patterns, often involving faster
senescence in males. Being under intense sexual competition to secure mating …

Sex differences in lifespan exist world-wide, with women outliving men by more than a
decade in some countries. The gender gap is not a uniquely human phenomenon; most …
