TL;DR: This article will illustrate how gender shapes the early adoption of health behaviors in childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood by focusing on physical activity, drinking, and smoking behaviors (including the influence of role modeling) and explores potential biological pathways, with a focus on autonomic functioning, which may underpin gender as a social determinant of cardiovascular health.

TL;DR: Findings support the need to focus on improving local environments to increase physical activity participation and support the importance of area level socioeconomic disadvantage in predictingPhysical activity participation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined whether area level socioeconomic disadvantage and social capital have different relations with women's and men's self-rated health and found that women may benefit more than men from higher levels of area social capital.
