In 4,299 people with type 1 diabetes and 17,196 matched controls, the death rate was 131 vs 35 per 100,000 person-years. The excess risk was far larger in women, though absolute mortality was higher in men.
A Global Burden of Disease analysis puts substance use disorder prevalence at 0.78% across the Arab League in 2023, about 63% below the global figure — yet women's opioid prevalence topped men's in 19 of 22 countries.
Some heart attacks leave scar on an ECG or MRI but were never felt as one. In a long US cohort they made up more than 45% of heart attacks — and they still shortened survival.
The crushing chest pressure is real and common. But in a registry of more than a million patients, 42% of women arrived without chest pain, against 31% of men — and the gap was widest in the young.
Women who reported vigorous physical activity had a lower arousal index, less time awake after falling asleep, and more total sleep time. The same association didn't hold for arousal index in men.
A systematic review of 27 studies finds women reach higher drug concentrations at the same psychotropic dose. A separate review of 103 atrial fibrillation trials finds 43% under-enrolled women against disease prevalence.
A pooled analysis of five trials in treatment-resistant depression found sex differences in response. The largest ones appeared in both arms, which points at something other than the drug.
A Swedish birth cohort of 2.76 million people found the cumulative male-to-female ratio for autism incidence had fallen to 1.2 by age 20 — and projects parity by 2024.
