I only found one link in the article, https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/Publication/8117..., and the abstract begins with:

Aging increases a person’s fragility (likelihood of injury given a physical insult) and frailty (chance of dying from a specific injury). Young adult females are more fragile than males of the same age, but later in life women are less frail than their male contemporaries.

My impression is that this thread suggests the design of cars has a bias to male safety at the expense of female safety. This link doesn't support that conclusion.
