Are older women given worse medical drugs than men? Do women suffer more easily from anxiety because of their hormones? Does smoking at the age of 20 affect the risk of developing oteoporosis later in life?

Many aspects of women´s health are still unexplored territory. In this book, researchers talk about their exciting, new projects. The knowledge they uncover will help not just women. Men, too, can benefit from studies based on a gender medicine approach. Could it perhaps be true that men who lives more as equals actually have better health?

The studies presented in this book are funded by FAS and form part of a major investment in research into women´s health.
