In this study the researchers took blood samples from 851 volunteers composed of both men and women ranging in ages from 45 to 84 years. What did the researchers find about why women live longer than men?The researchers found that women had longer telomeres than men. They speculated that the differences in telomere length may be the reason for why women live longer than men. Interestingly, they also observed that the difference in telomere length is smaller as both genders get older. In addition, the researcher acquired information on the volunteer’s behavior, hoping to find clues on the effects of lifestyle and the environment’s influence on telomere length. On this note, the researchers observed that gender differences in smoking and consuming processed meet affected telomere length. Whereas estradiol, testosterone, oxidative stress and body mass index were not affected by gender differences. The authors concluded that long-term studies were needed to confirm the gender differences that they observed.In the meanwhile, we recommend that all guys take care of their telomeres by taking some extra TA-65!
