The male Y chromosome may have a role in prolonging men’s lives and fighting cancer, scientists have said. Research into 1,153 elderly men at the University of Sweden found those who had lost part of their Y chromosome died on average 5.5 years earlier than those who had not. Women live on average 7.5 years longer than men in Europe and the reasons behind this are not fully known.
