Consequences of Ignoring Sex Differences:
Delayed or missed diagnoses: Women’s symptoms, especially atypical symptoms (such as heart attacks), frequently misdiagnosed.
Incorrect drug dosages and adverse effects: Medications tested primarily on male subjects ignore sex-based physiological differences, leading to more side effects or inadequate treatment for women.
Autoimmune diseases and chronic conditions: Predominantly affect women but remain understudied and poorly understood.
Sex-based differences in disease manifestation: Lung cancer, cardiovascular disease, Parkinson’s, autoimmune diseases, and strokes present differently in men and women.
