Gender Inequalities in Health and Survival: Role of Biology and Social Factors

Anna Oksuzyan, Jennifer Caputo, Mine Kühn, Maciej Danko; in Collaboration with Vladimir M. Shkolnikov (MPIDR), Hardy Melissa (The Pennsylvania State University, Department of Sociology and Criminology, University Park, USA), Kaare Christensen (University of Southern Denmark, Institute of Public Health, Epidemiology, Biostatistics, and Biodemography Unit, Odense, Denmark)

The project investigated the role of gender in shaping health reporting and treatment-seeking behaviors, including e-health use and around a stressful life event. We also studied how adult work patterns are related to women’s health later in life.  Detailed Description
