Abstract
Women comprise approximately half of the world's population, yet they are often underrepresented and inadequately considered in medical and public health research and in health care delivery in the United States and around the world. Elucidating sex and gender differences in disease and fundamental hormonal drivers of women's health is instrumental to informing our overall understanding of human health and improving women's health outcomes across the lifespan. The Society for Women's Health Research and ECH Alliance-The Global Health Connector hosted a women's health program as part of the United Nations 79th General Assembly Science Summit. Here, I briefly describe the basis for this convening to address global gender health gaps and reflect on the event's presentations and discussions to recognize and better integrate women's unique health needs in the sustainable development goals.
女性约占世界人口的一半，但在美国和世界各地的医学和公共卫生研究以及医疗保健服务中，女性的代表性往往不足，考虑也不充分。阐明疾病的性别差异和女性健康的基本荷尔蒙驱动因素，有助于我们全面了解人类健康，改善女性一生的健康状况。作为第 79 届联合国大会科学峰会的一部分，妇女健康研究学会和 ECH Alliance-The Global Health Connector 主办了一项妇女健康计划。在此，我将简要介绍召开此次会议以解决全球性别健康差距的基础，并对此次活动的演讲和讨论进行反思，以认识到妇女独特的健康需求并将其更好地纳入可持续发展目标。
期刊介绍：
Biology of Sex Differences is a unique scientific journal focusing on sex differences in physiology, behavior, and disease from molecular to phenotypic levels, incorporating both basic and clinical research. The journal aims to enhance understanding of basic principles and facilitate the development of therapeutic and diagnostic tools specific to sex differences. As an open-access journal, it is the official publication of the Organization for the Study of Sex Differences and co-published by the Society for Women's Health Research.
Topical areas include, but are not limited to sex differences in: genomics; the microbiome; epigenetics; molecular and cell biology; tissue biology; physiology; interaction of tissue systems, in any system including adipose, behavioral, cardiovascular, immune, muscular, neural, renal, and skeletal; clinical studies bearing on sex differences in disease or response to therapy.
