A considerable disparity exists between the prevalence of gender-specific health services, with WHCs being much more numerous than MHCs. All but one leading institution had WHCs compared to less than one-third having MHCs. Our findings also highlight the heterogeneous nature of men's health ...
Using T2D and CHD as our examples, we first created a pooled estimate of the HRs by meta-analyzing all estimates and recalculating cumulative incidence by combining these HRs with country-specific baseline hazards. In general, country-specific cumulative incidences using the meta-analyzed HRs were...
Boxplots illustrating four HLA genes with significant sex by treatment interactions. (A)HLA-Aand (B)HLA-Bare examples of genes where the magnitude of response differs between males and females. (C)HLA-DQA1and (D)HLA-DQB1show opposite directions of response to LPS treatment in males and fema...
To study sex disparities in immune cell populations in tumor microenvironment, we used two approaches to assess and compare the immune infiltration between female and male patients with respect to ethnicity and smoking status. In the Asian LUADs (OncoSG cohort), we found by using CIBERSORTx appro...
These disparities are a major health concern and an area of ongoing research and national funding.4 Each year, the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database reports age-adjusted prostate cancer–specific mortality (PCSM) rates. However, fully adjusting for measurable and un...

19,21,24 Several examples of discrepant findings and conclusions on the benefits of treatment between RCTs and observational studies, such as hormone replacement treatment on cardiovascular outcomes72 and vitamin, mineral, or fish oil supplements on noncommunicable disease,73 exist. Discrepancies between...
"To address these residual disparities associated with neighborhood disadvantage, future research must take a translational epidemiologic approach to focus on biological and nonbiological factors through which the built environment, above the beyond individual-level factors, may influence outcomes," the autho...
We first explored if the different Y truncations can affect heterochromatin formation on other chromosomes, as predicted. We turned to a well-established paradigm: the graded effect of the Y chromosome on position-effect variegation (PEV)27. One of the best examples of PEV is seen when thewhit...
further is the recent call for better calibration of polygenetic risk scores (PRS) to enhance transethnic utility with the hope of not exacerbating already unacceptable health disparities as PRS is used to identify high-risk individuals for early intervention in clinical and public health settings55...
