Role of Sex and Gender in Aging and Longevity

Role of Sex and Gender in Aging and Longevity by Calogero Caruso offers a clear, evidence-driven exploration of how biological sex and sociocultural gender shape health across the lifespan. Thoughtful and accessible, this book reframes aging research by showing why male–female differences matter for disease risk, treatment responses, and strategies to extend healthy life.

You’ll find compelling syntheses of current gerontology, endocrinology, and epidemiology—explaining how hormones, genetics, immune function, and social roles interact to influence morbidity and mortality. Case studies and population-based findings highlight practical implications for clinicians, public-health planners, caregivers, and researchers seeking sex- and gender-sensitive solutions.

The book emphasizes global relevance, drawing examples from Europe, North America, and Asia to show regional patterns and scalable interventions.

Whether you’re a physician, gerontologist, graduate student, or engaged citizen, this book equips you with a nuanced understanding of why personalized aging care must account for both sex and gender.
