Gender health disparities

Gender health disparities refer to differences in health outcomes and access to healthcare between genders, often due to social, cultural, or biological factors. For example, women and men may experience certain diseases differently or face barriers to receiving timely care. These disparities can lead to worse health for one gender, not because of biology alone but also because of societal influences like stereotypes, income gaps, or biased healthcare practices. Addressing these differences requires understanding both biological and social factors to ensure equitable access to quality healthcare for everyone.
