RoundTable: The Gender Data Gap

The Gender Data Gap persists at every echelon of healthcare from trials to treatment. Some examples? 70% of the people affected by chronic pain conditions are women – but 80% of research into pain is conducted on male humans or rodents. Despite being the leading cause of mortality in women, diagnosis of heart disease and models of clinical care draw heavily on previous research conducted only with men. The vaginal microbiome is another example. It is associated with the risk for STIs, Pelvic inflammatory disease, Fertility issues or failed IVF cycles, Pregnancy complications such as miscarriage, preterm birth, neonatal problems, and preeclampsia and much more. And yet, though lots of resources have been invested in understanding other human microbiomes like gut or skin microbiomes, when it comes to the vagina, the microbiome has been overlooked.
