Research* has found that when compared to males, females take longer to clear this insomnia drug from their system. This commonly resulted in next-morning impairment, affecting activities like driving due to drowsiness. This was discovered after the drug went to market due to underrepresentation of female subjects during various drug testing phases.

A study* on 1.58 million elderly patients, has shown a 0.43% lower death rate if the treating physician was female versus male. Possible reasons for this may include adhering to clinical guidelines, and using more patient centred communication.

The bacterial community in a vagina plays an important role in health. Much research has been done to characterize these communities to determine what constitutes a healthy “microbiome.” This research aims to consider how having an unhealthy microbiome can contribute to diseases and health conditions.

Stroke is the third leading cause of death for females in the US. In fact, one in five will experience a stroke in their lifetime. There are only a few therapeutic options right now, and some feel that this may be due to the fact that research has largely been done with only male rodent animals.
