The role of genetics and epigenetics in sex differences in human survival

2023-01-19

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Sex differences in human survival have been extensively investigated in many studies that have in part uncovered the biological determinants that promote a longer life in females with respect to males. Moreover, researches performed in the past years have prompted increased awareness about the biological effects of environmental factors that can modulate the magnitude of the sex gap in survival. Besides t...
