Question - Human Development and Sex Difference Discussion

Description - Boyd, Johnson, and Bee (2015) claim there is a paradox where women are living longer but experience more diseases and disabilities (Orpana, Ross, McFarland, Bernier & Kaplan, 2009). "Women are more likely to describe their health as poor, to have more chronic conditions...and to be more limited to their daily activities." (Boyd, Johnson, & Bee, 2015). Such differences have been found in every country including those that are non-industrialized.

What are some possible reasons for this? Do you think there are factors during earlier developmental phases that account for these differences in late adulthood?

What is it difference between the male and female experience that would lead to such a large discrepancy in findings?

Are you surprised that these findings are shared universally? What factors could contribute to this?
