Aging Differences – Men versus Women
We know that women are from Venus, at least that what the book says, but where the heck did men come from? Art Gottlieb, a licensed social worker and former director of the Intrepid Sea Air and Space Museum has a special perspective on aging differences. His special association with men in the military is key to understanding how life experience impacts who and what we are. Where we come from, what our values are play key roles in how we see ourselves and the roles we play in society. So why wouldn’t that hold in diffences between the sexes as we go into our older years.

Prostate Test Found to Save Few Lives
The PSA blood test, used to screen for prostate cancer, saves few lives and leads to risky and unnecessary treatments for large numbers of men, two large studies have found. But it has been difficult to know whether finding prostate cancer early saves lives. Most of the cancers tend to grow very slowly and are never a threat and, with the faster-growing ones, even early diagnosis might be too late.
