Study: Elderly men’s self-care ability outweighs women in Singapore

The clinical research for the SG90 Longevity Study, by A*STAR and National University Health System, was led by Professor Koh Woon Puay from Duke-NUS Medical School and the Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health at NUS. The study, which began in October 2015, showed that 30 per cent of men above 90 years old had decreased cognition compared to 39 per cent in their female counterparts.
