Sex differences in psychiatric disorders are the result of a complex interplay between genetic, hormonal, immunological, and psychosocial factors [2,3,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23]. Adding to this complexity, the diagnosis of psychiatric disorders is currently based on behaviorally defined DSM criteria...
For more than 150 years, research studies have documented greater variability across males than across females (“greater male variability”—GMV) over a broad range of behavioral and morphological measures. In placental mammals, an ancient difference between males and females that may make an importa...
This paper examined gender-specific drug use, health, socio-economic and service use characteristics – and explored potential differences between males and females – among a community-recruited bi-site sample of young, regular crack users in Brazil. ...
In Germany, relative differences between men and women were similar to Switzerland, but at a lower level, with the incidence in Germany being one-third of that in Switzerland. It is notable, however, that the number of confirmed cases and therefore also the incidence depends largely on testing...
Large waist circumference is linked to poor health. Investigations of the relationship between waist circumference, as an index of abdominal fat, and bone mineral density (BMD) have yielded inconsistent results. We investigated the association between ab
Several observations support the hypothesis that differences in synaptic and regional cerebral plasticity between the sexes account for the high ratio of males to females in autism. First, males are more susceptible than females to perturbations in genes
[15].While the dosages of X-linked genes are typically balanced between males and females via the process of X chromosome inactivation (XCI) [16], X-linked genes related to immunity have been demonstrated to more readily escape XCI in immune cells than other somatic cell types, and are ...
