Some considerations on age distribution of the Italian population, in particular women, are reported; after 40, they are the majority. Problems of ageing and their quality of life constitute a large interest of future research. Cardiovascular diseases are more frequent with ageing for both, males and females; the differences, found in middle age males and females, suggest the possible protective role of feminine sexual hormones. Trials, which include hormone replacement therapy in women after menopause, are conducted for the possible influence on cardiovascular diseases, on osteoporosis and on thrombogenic factors.
报告了对意大利人口年龄分布的一些考虑，特别是女性，40岁以后她们占多数。老龄化问题及其生活质量构成了未来研究的一大关注点。心血管疾病在男性和女性中都随着年龄增长而更为常见；中年男性和女性之间的差异表明女性性激素可能具有保护作用。针对绝经后女性进行了包括激素替代疗法在内的试验，以研究其对心血管疾病、骨质疏松症和血栓形成因素的可能影响。
