本研究旨在比较丹麦、日本和美国死亡率和主要健康维度的性别差异的方向和程度。人类死亡率数据库被用来检查年龄别死亡率的性别差异。丹麦双胞胎调查，丹麦1905年队列研究，健康和退休研究，日本大学日本老龄化纵向研究被用来检查健康的性别差异。在这三个国家，男性在所有年龄段的死亡率都一直较高，但与同龄女性相比，他们在握力方面也有很大的优势。在这三个国家中，85岁以上的人在日常生活活动（ADL）方面的性别差异变得明显。抑郁水平往往较高的妇女，特别是在丹麦和HRS，只有小的性别差异，观察到在立即回忆测试和迷你精神状态exam.The本研究揭示了一致的性别差异，在生存和身体健康，自我评价的健康和认知在老年人，而抑郁症状的性别差异的模式是国家特定的。
The present study aims to compare the direction and magnitude of sex differences in mortality and major health dimensions across Denmark, Japan and the US. The Human Mortality Database was used to examine sex differences in age-specific mortality rates. The Danish twin surveys, the Danish 1905-Cohort Study, the Health and Retirement Study, and the Nihon University Japanese Longitudinal Study of Aging were used to examine sex differences in health. Men had consistently higher mortality rates at all ages in all three countries, but they also had a substantial advantage in handgrip strength compared with the same-aged women. Sex differences in activities of daily living (ADL) became pronounced among individuals aged 85+ in all three countries. Depression levels tended to be higher in women, particularly, in Denmark and the HRS, and only small sex differences were observed in the immediate recall test and Mini-Mental State Exam. The present study revealed consistent sex differentials in survival and physical health, self-rated health and cognition at older ages, whereas the pattern of sex differences in depressive symptoms was country-specific.
