XY and XX gene:

Harvard Medical said that men and women are different from each other since the time they were fetuses. It says that even though both males and females have 23 pairs of chromosomes. Out of the 23 chromosomes, 22 are the same in both the sex while the 23rd pair becomes different

The males have the combinations of XY chromosomes while females have both XX chromosomes in the 23rd pair.

The Y chromosome is one-third shorter than the X chromosome and also it has lesser genes than the X.  The Y chromosomes in men are linked to diseases and this keeps men at high risk of death than women.

Hormones in Men:

In men, the testosterone hormones start sieving the muscles of the heart over time resulting in several kinds of heart diseases. While, in women, the estrogen hormone, in women works as a protection for their hearts. So according to this study, women suffer fewer heart-related diseases.

The prostate gland in Men:

The study shows that the prostate gland in males is responsible for many problems and diseases in men.

Cholesterol 

Talking about metabolism,  women are naturally blessed with good cholesterol which is responsible for protecting the heart. Women have 60.3 mg per deciliter while men have only 48.5.

Activities
