Women’s brains are an average of 3.8 years younger than men’s, according to new research from Washington University School of Medicine. Scans of 162 men and women between 20 and 82 looked at how their brains metabolise­d sugar. The women’s brains consistent­ly acted younger, and this may explain why women experience less cognitive decline in later life.
