“…Men generally experience more cancer and cardiovascular or metabolic disease, and consequently they die earlier. 40 In the work of Sacko et al, 16 patients were exclusively octogenarians and older, and, therefore, differences in natural history between the sexes are likely.…”

Meningioma resection in the elderly is possible with some mortality. We were unable to reproduce the utility of 2 proposed grading systems for mortality prediction when extending to younger patients. In single-factor analysis, only concomitant disease and ASA score remained significant. The decision whether to operate should be taken individually. Patients with severe concomitant disease or high ASA score should be advised not to undergo surgical therapy independently from other factors.

“…Additionally, in the current study, total death rates were higher in men than in women, and all-cause mortality was more clearly related to SPG concentrations in men than in women. This difference between the sexes may be, in part, linked to gender-specific socio-biological factors, namely, the more frequent development of lifestyle-related diseases and shorter lifespan of men than of women (Fodor and Tzerovska 2004;Manuel and Schultz 2004;Pinkhasov et al 2010).…”

Relationship between screening plasma glucose concentrations and cancer- and all-cause mortality: the Jichi Medical School (JMS) cohort study

Aim Whether plasma glucose concentrations at the screening level in the public health care setting can predict mortality remains to be determined in Japanese people. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between screening plasma glucose concentrations and cause-and all-cause mortality in a general Japanese cohort.Subjects and methods The current study investigated 11,998 community-dwelling participants from 12 Japanese communities who had been registered in the Jichi Medical School Cohort Study (a population-based prospective cohort study) between 1992 and 1995. Mortality was documented as the primary outcome. The relationships between screening plasma glucose concentrations and outcomes were analyzed using Cox proportional hazard models. Results In all, 1,050 deaths (men/women = 631/419) were identified during a follow-up period of 10.7 years. Compared with the lowest glucose concentration (<5.22 mmol/L), multivariate-adjusted hazard ratios for the highest glucose concentration (≥6.11 mmol/L) were 1.52 (95 % confidence interval [CI], 1.25-1.85) for all-cause mortality and 1.76 (95 % CI, 1.29-2.41) for cancer-cause mortality in men and 4.65 (95 % CI, 1.69-12.78) for myocardial infarction mortality in women. ConclusionsThe current Japanese population-based cohort study suggests that high screening plasma glucose concentrations can predict cancer-and all-cause mortality, particularly in men.

“…Some epidemiological studies did not report any gender differences in sepsis-related death (Crabtree et al, 1999;Martin et al, 2003;Laupland et al, 2004;Esper et al, 2006) whereas other found either increased mortality in men (Osborn et al, 2004;Melamed & Sorvillo, 2009;Wafaisade et al, 2011) or women (Combes et al, 2009;Pietropaoli et al, 2010;Nachtigall et al, 2011). As men are also at increased risk of death due to trauma, cancer and cardiovascular diseases as compared with women, the analysis of epidemiological data should integrate these potential biases (Micheli et al, 2009;Pinkhasov et al, 2010;Coronado et al, 2011).…”
