Sex Differences in Mouse Longevity and Responses to Geroprotective Drugs: Implications for Human Intervention.

This article discusses the importance of understanding sex differences in aging and how it can contribute to developing policies that promote healthier and more meaningful lives for older individuals. The article highlights the need for research on sex differences in aging, both in biological mechanisms and environmental and cultural factors. It introduces a genetically diverse mouse model that exhibits sex differences in longevity and resilience, which can be used to study the underlying biological mechanisms. The article also discusses the sex differences in the response to geroprotective therapies and emphasizes the need for considering sex as a critical variable in research and policy development.
