1. The size, structure, and function of the brain differs in men and women.
2. Bone mass peaks earlier in women than men. At menopause, women rapidly lose bone; 80 percent of osteoporosis cases are in women.
3. Women have stronger immune systems but are more prone to autoimmune diseases.
4. Women and men experience pain and react to pain medications in different ways.
5. Women have a higher blood alcohol content than men for a given amount of alcohol consumed, regardless of their size differences.
6. Women who smoke are more likely to develop lung disease (e.g., cancer) than men who smoke.
7. Women having unprotected intercourse are more likely to contract a STI, including HIV.
8. Depression is 2 to 3 times more common in women.
