Área transversal de investigación - Efecto del género/sexo en la salud
Traditionally, the practice of medicine and biomedical research has held a biased perspective on the effect that gender and sex have on diseases. Accordingly, a great deal of knowledge related to the differential effect that gender and sex have on the way of falling ill has been ignored.
Fortunately, this view is evolving. In recent years, the incorporation of a gender perspective in the content of research is changing the way we design, analyse and interpret biomedical research. The results obtained with this approach reveal that there are differences between women and men in different physiological and pathological aspects. The physiology of women clearly has differential aspects, such as reproductive cycles, the effect of pregnancy and lactation or hormone levels. Social conditions affecting health are also different in women and men, according to the World Health Organization.
Navarrabiomed is developing a cross-cutting research area focused on the differential effect of gender and sex on the pathologies commonly studied at our centre.
Objective
-
The aim is to better understand the biological and clinical effects that gender and sex exert in different areas of biomedicine, such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, digestive diseases, physical activity, ageing, immune system and infectious diseases or neurodegeneration.
-
In addition, we study health conditions and diseases that are invisible to the female gender, such as certain aspects of mental health or reproductive health in women.
For the development of this approach, Navarrabiomed has the support and advice of Aditech, which has materialized in a partnership agreement for its implementation. See related news.
