This paper seems to disagree heavily with you.
- coronasaurus 5y agoJust going by the abstract that you linked, that study seems to only relate to the past 100 years. And extrapolating this to the middle ages and earlier: In general, countries with a lower overall life expectancy had a lower number of women per 100 men aged 75+, while countries with higher overall life expectancy had a higher female to male ratio in this age group. A hundred years ago there were nearly equal numbers of women and men aged 75+ in many countries. It doesn't seem to disagree with me at all.
