Gender-specific medical research has demonstrated major differences between the way male and female physical systems develop and handle disease. Heart disease and stroke, diabetes and depression are just a few examples of medical conditions that affect women and men differently. In addition to physical differences, men and women face different challenges in obtaining and paying for medical services. Economic status, health insurance coverage, and a woman's role as caregiver equally affect a woman's health. The interplay between medical, social, and economic issues alike are critical to understanding the diverse needs of women.
