Biological and other gender differences make women more susceptible than men to common diseases. For example, women’s heart attacks often present with different symptoms and 72% of all Alzheimer’s cases are women. However, despite the wealth of data on these differences, these factors are not sufficiently taken into account in clinical research, diagnosis, and treatment. This can lead to serious implications for women’s health.
