Research shows that in most developed countries, women live longer than men. With the exception of Alzheimer's disease, men are also more likely than women to die from major age-related diseases including cancer, heart disease, and chronic lung disease. Why do females live healthier, longer?

In the latest talk in our Live Better Longer series, Sarah Smith (Editor-in-Chief, Prevention) and Spencer Dukoff (Deputy Editor, Men's Health) will be joined by the two leading experts to discuss sex differences and aging.
