Abstract in brief

Women generally live longer than men across different countries and throughout history, with this survival advantage not being due to protection from just a few diseases but from most top causes of death, except for Alzheimer's disease where women are more prone.
Despite their longer lifespan, women tend to experience worse health throughout life compared to men, and the biological reasons for this are still not well understood or extensively studied.
In laboratory mice, which are common models for aging studies, sex differences in lifespan are inconsistent, but responses to anti-aging interventions often differ between males and females, highlighting the importance of including both sexes in biomedical research.
