Global efforts to improve the health of women largely focus on improving sexual and reproductive health. However, the global burden of disease has changed significantly over the past decades. Currently, the greatest burden of death and disability among women is attributable to non-communicable diseases (NCDs), most notably cardiovascular diseases, ...
The global burden of disease among women has changed significantly over the past decades. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are now the leading causes of death and disability for women in almost all coun-tries of the world. Nearly 80% of NCDs occur in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), and it is particularly in these parts of the world ...
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the ▸ leading causes of death and disability among women worldwide. The global agenda for the health of women needs to be redefined and broadened to ensure the allocation of adequate resources to: Increase awareness, promote research, and implement policies and interventions to prevent, treat and optimise outcom...

Gender refers to the socially constructed roles, behaviours, activities and attributes that are considered appropriate ...
Current approaches to improving the health of women do not address those health conditions that are responsible for the greatest burden of ill health, namely NCDs. It also does not fully address the importance of certain repro-ductive health factors—such as gestational diabetes and pregnancy-induced hypertension—for the health of women in later lif...

Nov 1, 2015 · Abstract. We have produced compelling evidence that women are subject to a higher relative increase in their risk of coronary heart disease and stroke following a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes. Thus, in terms of vascular risk, diabetes confers a female disadvantage. This excess risk could be due to three main factors.
