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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Data showing a remarkable gender difference in life expectancy and mortality, including
survival to extreme age, are reviewed starting from clinical and demographic data and …

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 …

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

There is a growing appreciation by the biomedical community that studying the impact of sex
and gender on health, aging, and disease will lead to improvements in human health. Sex …
