Sex Differences in Frailty in Milan Over the Last 2000 Years: A Hazards‐Based and Cumulative Phenotype Approach
As females are biologically buffered, their cumulative frailty should be lower than males; comparable cumulative frailty suggests cultural factors may be impacting female frailty. This study contributes to methodological advancements in bioarchaeological frailty analysis and provides insights into the trends of health in Milan over the past 2000 years.
