Some other sex-related health differences include: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, especially in basketball, occur more often in females than in males. [142]
In all 37 cultures it was found that males preferred females younger than themselves and females preferred males older than themselves. These age preferences were confirmed in marriage records with males marrying females younger than them. [37] A more recent study has supported these findings, conducted by Schwarz and Hassebrauck.
