The text claims that high intelligence increases life expectancy in men but shortens it in women.

The claim that high intelligence increases life expectancy in men is supported by evidence showing a positive correlation between higher IQ and longer lifespan. However, evidence for women contradicts the second claim, as studies link higher intelligence in women with similar or increased longevity compared to men. Overall, both claims are evaluated separately with a factual basis established for men but refuted for women.
