“…While YoGL in 2015 was found to be quite similar for women and men, with a slight advantage for women (consistent with the findings presented in Figure 8); due to higher female life expectancy, women still had fewer "good years" relative to men. These results are related to the male-female healthmortality paradox (Di Lego et al 2019), which describes the phenomenon that women live longer than men, but spend a larger proportion of their life in poorer health (Luy and Minagawa 2014;Pongiglione et al 2015).…”

“…Junto con estos procesos de compresión y expansión de la mortalidad se introduce un segundo debate, como consecuencia directa de este: la paradoja de salud y supervivencia (health/survival paradox), en la cual las mujeres son quienes viven más tiempo dada su ventaja de mortalidad, pero a su vez viven más tiempo con enfermedades que afectan su calidad de vida (Di Lego, Lazarevič y Luy, 2019;Van Oyen et al, 2013). Al envejecer las sociedades, se observaría que los cambios en la mortalidad de las mujeres son de menor magnitud que para los hombres, pero sus cambios en la salud son proporcionalmente mayores.…”
