Sex differences in nutrient-dependent reproductive ageing.
Evolutionary theories of aging predict that fitness-related traits, including reproductive performance, will senesce because the strength of selection declines with age. Sexual selection theory predicts, however, that male reproductive performance (especially sexual advertisement) will increase with age. In both bodies of theory, diet should mediate age-dependent changes in reproductive perform...
متن کاملSex Differences in Cardiovascular Imaging.
IMAGING VIGNETTE Sex Differences in Cardiovascular Imaging Leslee J. Shaw, PHD HEART DISEASE IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH FOR WOMEN IN THE UNITED STATES, RESPONSIBLE for 1 in every 4 women’s deaths. Despite increases in awareness over the past decade, only 54% of women recognize that heart disease is their number 1 killer. Almost two-thirds (64%) of women who die suddenly of coronary heart dis...
متن کاملSex differences in ageing in natural populations of vertebrates.
In many long-lived vertebrates (including humans), adult males have shorter lifespans than adult females, partly as a result of higher annual rates of mortality in males and partly owing to sex differences in the rate of ageing. A probable explanation of the evolution of sex differences in ageing is that, in polygynous species, intense intrasexual competition between males restricts the number ...
متن کاملSex Differences in Age-Related Cardiovascular Mortality
INTRODUCTION Sex-related physiological differences result in different expressions of diseases for men and women. Data are contradicting regarding the increase in the female risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) at mid-life. Thus, we studied possible sex differences in age-adjusted mortality for CVD and non-vascular diseases stratifying our findings by specific age groups. METHODS Over one mi...
متن کاملSex differences, sexual selection, and ageing: an experimental evolution approach.
Life-history (LH) theory predicts that selection will optimize the trade-off between reproduction and somatic maintenance. Reproductive ageing and finite life span are direct consequences of such optimization. Sexual selection and conflict profoundly affect the reproductive strategies of the sexes and thus can play an important role in the evolution of life span and ageing. In theory, sexual se...
