I found it very interesting that women live longer than men, despite higher morbidity rates. This basic fact may play a role in the reason why the topic of women’s health has been so overlooked, since people might misinterpret the higher life expectancies to mean that women have better health. I also found the sociological explanations behind the disparity in women’s health to be a very insightful fact. I think that when people hear of health discrepancies between males and females, they try to point to biological differences as a reason. However, factors such as exposure to stressors and socioeconomic status make a profound impact on health.
