Results: Life expectancy was negatively associated with alcohol consumption and smoking and positively with sport participation: a 1-L increase in alcohol consumption was attributed to a 1.6-month decrease in male life expectancy and to a 1.8-month decrease in female life expectancy. If the ...
This paper examines the gender-related features of the health crisis in Russia which has produced the largest gender gap in life expectancy in the world. Stress and negative health lifestyles are the two most likely causes of the long-term adverse longevity pattern in Russia. However, this devel...
Fig. 1 and fig. 2 show female and male life expectancy at birth in relation to proportion of deaths from circulatory causes (as defined for Mortality Charts) for the Nordic and Baltic countries, with Iceland excluded due to small population.1 Figure 1: Circulatory deaths vs life expectancy f...
Experimental studies also demonstrated that young female animals suffer smaller brain infarcts and fewer neurological deficits after stroke than age-matched male animals, but this protection disappears and is even worse in aged female animals. Age-related changes in sex hormones, especially estrogen, ...
In 2011, male life expectancy was 76.2 years and female life expectancy 81.0 years (Hoypert and Xu, National Vital Statistics Report, 2012). From 1900 to 1999, the average lifespan of people in the USA lengthened by more than 30 years; 25 years of this gain can be attributed to ...
So, while excess male mortality over the life span is higher and the resulting length of male life expectancy is lower than women's in all countries, the size of the difference is not a constant. Fig. 3 Male-Female mortality ratios for single-year birth cohorts for 13 countries: 1800...
Gerontogenes include those that modulate life expectancy in various species and may be the actual longevity genes. We believe that a long (relative to body weight) lifespan in individual rodent and primate species can be due, among other things, to the loss of particular genes that are presen...
