Importance of Women's Health Research

Research on women’s health is critical for understanding overall human health, as biological differences between sexes significantly impact health outcomes. It is essential to consider specific health needs of women and ensure their inclusion in clinical studies to assess the safety and efficacy of interventions across genders. As established by the NIH, sex and gender influence not only societal experiences but also the molecular and genetic levels of health. Focusing on women’s health enhances the potential for better health discovery and outcomes for everyone.
