Description

In this episode:

  • Ageing is different in men and women because they have different organs in addition to different hormones that affect brain function, bones and organs in unique ways
  • Women are entirely immunologically different – a lot of women’s chronic diseases of ageing have an inflammatory component
  • By the age of 65, a woman is four times as likely as a man to develop chronic disease significant enough to be impacting on their ability to perform day to day activities
