[[Sex differences in mortality]].
"Patterns and trends of sex differences in mortality in developed and developing countries are briefly described with a special attention to those of [the Republic of] Korea.  Various explanatory approaches that have been used to account for those differences are then reviewed and evaluated."  Consideration is given to both biological factors and behavioral factors.  The need for a more complex explanatory model that integrates both kinds of factors is noted. (SUMMARY IN ENG)
