32、. The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that womens longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age. “We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,” said the head of the
33、 study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK. “Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,” said Goldspink. “This is part of the ageing process.” What surprises s
34、cientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old womans heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old ones. “This gender（ 性别） difference might just explain why women live longer than men,” said Goldspink. They studied more than 250 healthy men and
35、women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease. “The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart,” said Goldspink.
