Genes Making Waves
Why do men have shorter lifespans?
Researchers believe that as a large percentage of males age, the cells in their body begin to get rid of copies of their Y chromosome. This Y chromosome decluttering appears to put men at a higher risk of diseases such as Alzheimerโs and Leukemia, and largely explains the increased mortality rate in men as compared to women.
