Vesterbekkmo thinks doctors should start with the simplest things: asking the patient if there is a history...
An aspect of the biology of males and females that could contribute to the sex gap in longevity and aging is the inheritance of some genetic factors that differ between sexes. This is the case with the mitochondrial genome, which is inherited maternally, and of the sex chromosomes that differ...
