Gender differences in health related behaviour: Some unanswered questions

Patients’ perceptions of cardiac anesthesia services: a pilot study

“…This may also be interpreted as a gender bias in response style, i.e., men have a lesser tendency to express emotion, dissatisfaction, etc. [32][33][34][35][36] Contrary to the general literature on satisfaction, our results show that older patients seem to report less satisfaction than younger ones with respect to their interactions with anesthesiologists. Young people, usually under 50 yr of age, are found to be more critical of the care they receive.…”

Disparities in fruit and vegetable intake at the intersection of gender and education in northern Sweden: a cross-sectional study

“…We also found that the referent disparity for gender consistently explained a large portion of the joint disparity. This is in line with previous research indicating that women have in general a higher fruit and vegetable consumption than men [ 6 , 19 , 20 ], and healthier behaviors overall [ 15 – 18 ]. Although to a lesser extent, the referent disparity for education also explained a substantial fraction of the joint disparities.…”

Gender Differentials in Self-Rated Health and Self-Reported Disability among Adults in India

“…Notably, the gender gap in disability is found to be the highest in difficulty in more than five ADLs in the age groups before age 60 (women reported two times more than men). Our findings are consistent with the common wisdom that the gender difference in disability is substantial, especially in ADL measures [ 61 – 64 ]. Future research should focus more on the unmet need of personal care among disabled adults whether gender plays an important role in caregiving to differential exists in proving care and treatment.…”
