Gender medicine

Gender medicine studies the biological and socio-cultural differences between men and women in the incidence, manifestation and response to treatment of diseases. This approach makes it possible to improve diagnosis (some diseases, such as heart attacks, manifest themselves differently in the two sexes and may be underdiagnosed in women), personalise treatment (men and women metabolise drugs differently, so the dosage and type of treatment may vary), better prevent diseases (by knowing gender-specific risk factors, more effective preventive strategies can be adopted).
