Cardiovascular Diseases, Aging and the Gender Gap in the Human Longevity.

Abraham Aviv1.   

Abstract

This brief communication probes into the biological meaning of the gender gap in longevity and its possible ramifications to the expression of cardiovascular diseases in humans. It addresses the potential role of the estrogen and the X chromosome in the longer life span of women than men in modern societies. In addition, it links features of the reproductive and post-reproductive periods with cardiovascular diseases and longevity in women.
