| Annotation | At all ages and throughout most social groups, women exhibit a longer life expectancy than men, and therefore are much more affected by all aspects of ageing. However, the "feminisation of ageing" has, for a long time, been neglected in much of the gerontological or geriatric research. Only in recent decades has research focused more on how women and men differ in facing changes during their life course, which are examined for Switzerland in this article. (RH). |
