Seit Jahren testet die Gesundheitsforschung Medikamente und neuartige Behandlungsmethoden \u00fcberwiegend an m\u00e4nnlichen Probanden, in der Annahme, die Erkenntnisse lie\u00dfen sich ebenfalls auf Frauen \u00fcbertragen. Diese Annahme f\u00fchrt dazu, dass viele Medikamente und Behandlungen nicht ausreichend auf den weiblichen K\u00f6rper angepasst sind.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>This has serious consequences for women. Women are more likely to experience side effects, with symptoms often underestimated or misinterpreted in studies as well as diagnoses. This creates gaps in medical knowledge, which can lead to mistakes in treatment and research. The Gender Health Gap highlights the importance of evidence-based health research.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Sources:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><em>Galea, Liisa A. &amp; Parekh, Rulan S.; Ending the neglect of women's health in research; in: BMJ (2023); doi: 10.1136\/bmj.p1303.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><em>Sarto, Gloria E.; The gender gap: new challenges in women's health; in: Fertility and Sterility 81:2 (2004); doi: 10.1016\/S0015-0282(03)01141-5.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><em>Regitz-Zagrosek, Vera &amp; Seeland, Ute; Sex and Gender Differences in Clinical Medicine; in: Regitz-Zagrosek, Vera (ed.); Sex and Gender Differences in Pharmacology: Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology; vol. 214 (2013); doi: 10.1007\/978-3-642-30726-3_1<\/em><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Women are often overlooked in research and medicine, which leads to incorrect diagnoses and high risk treatments.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":703,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_seopress_robots_follow":"","_seopress_robots_imageindex":"","_seopress_robots_snippet":"","_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_seopress_robots_breadcrumbs":"","_seopress_robots_freeze_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_custom_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_canonical":"","_seopress_social_fb_title":"","_seopress_social_fb_desc":"","_seopress_social_fb_img":"","_seopress_social_fb_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_height":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_title":"","_seopress_social_twitter_desc":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_height":0,"_seopress_redirections_value":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled_regex":"","_seopress_redirections_logged_status":"both","_seopress_redirections_param":"","_seopress_redirections_type":301,"_seopress_analysis_target_kw":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-193","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-factoids"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/evidence-based-health.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/evidence-based-health.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/evidence-based-health.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/evidence-based-health.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/evidence-based-health.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=193"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/evidence-based-health.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1439,"href":"https:\/\/evidence-based-health.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193\/revisions\/1439"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/evidence-based-health.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/703"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/evidence-based-health.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=193"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/evidence-based-health.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=193"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/evidence-based-health.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=193"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
