"Elderly women on average outlive their male contemporaries by at least four to seven years. This longevity discrepancy becomes all the more striking as we start to approach the extreme end of the human life span. Over the age of eighty-five, women can outnumber men two to one. As for centenarians, women’s survival advantage is even more exaggerated: out of one hundred centenarians alive today, eighty are women and only twenty are men."

Just started reading The Better Half and it's not disappointing

"'Males, I was always taught, are the stronger sex. Yet that’s the opposite of what I’ve seen so far, both clinically and in my genetics research. So why do males seem like the weaker sex in fact?' I asked.

'Maybe you’re just not asking the right question,' she said thoughtfully, stirring the remaining coffee in her cup. 'Instead of thinking about male weakness, maybe the question you want to ask is, What makes females stronger?'"
