AnnotationThis is the second profile in a four-part series, produced with the support of the NIA's Office of the Demography of Aging, which highlights broad differences between older women and older men in a global context. It provides evidence that the female survival advantage is nearly universal; questions whether living longer means living better; and concludes that gender differences in morbidity remain poorly understood.
