On April 1, 1995, the United States had 134 million women and 128 million men. At the youngest ages (under 15 years), boys outnumbered girls by a ratio of 1.05 to 1. The male lead continued until about age 30, when the situation reversed. The female edge then kept getting larger with age. Among the oldest old (85 years and over), there were only 39 men for every 100 women. Overall, women had a median age of 35.4; men, 33.1.
