A study proves that women can live longer than men because their immune systems are aging more slowly . With endurance continued to weaken , kerentaranan men to disease shortens their life span .
Japanese scientists perform tests of immune function to see indications of biological age . The immune system protects the body from infection and cancer but cause disease if not well managed . Study in Japan investigated the controversial question of whether the relationship of age to the immune system responsible for the differences in average life expectancy between men and women .
Hirokawa Katsuiku Professor of Medicine and Dentistry, University of Tokyo mengalisis blood samples from 356 healthy men and women aged between 20 and 90 years . They measured levels of white blood cells and molecules called cytokines , which interact with cells of the immune system to regulate the body's response to disease .
" Age-related changes in various immune parameters differ between women and men . Findings we indicate a slower rate of decline in immune parameters in women than in men , which is consistent with the fact that women live longer than men , " said Hirokawa and colleagues in the report in the journal Immunity and Ageing quoted by the BBC , Sunday ( 20/10 ) . Senior lecturer at the Royal Veterinary College , Donald Palmer said studies in rats gave similar results .
