Abstract

Do men and women age differently? This is the question the authors attempt to answer. By borrowing from biological, psychobehavioural and sociohistoric fields of study, the authors address - from a differential angle - man/woman relationships, life expectancy, causes of morbidity and mortality, health status perception, psychological aging, life cycle events, and family relationships. This is an excellent, well-documented review of writings that elicit reflection on current and future aging at the dawn of the 21st century.
