The response of the sexes to nutritional stress
1976
Widdowson, Elsie M.
Differences in the response of the sexes to deficiencies and excesses of total energy are discussed. Specific stresses studied include undernutrition and starvation, rehabilitation, and overnutrition. The female is better able to withstand a shortage of food than the male. When given unlimited food after starvation the female is more likely than the male to achieve normal weight. The incidence of obesity in various parts of the world has shown that about twice as many women as men are 20% or more overweight.
