The statistics about common musculoskeletal disorders describe a few of the many health conditions that affect men and women. For such disorders and conditions, there are differences in incidence, predisposition, and therapeutic and preventive strategies for managing them. Although we have made progress in women's health research, many challenges remain, including those related to conditions and diseases of the musculoskeletal system that may affect women and men differentially. Research is needed to identify genetic, hormonal, environmental, and societal factors that contribute to these sex and gender differences and to understand when appropriate clinical applications should differ or be the same.
关于常见肌肉骨骼疾病的统计数据描述了影响男性和女性的众多健康状况中的一部分。对于此类疾病和状况,在发病率、易感性以及治疗和预防策略方面存在差异。尽管我们在女性健康研究方面取得了进展,但仍存在许多挑战,包括与肌肉骨骼系统的疾病和病症相关的挑战,这些疾病和病症可能对女性和男性产生不同的影响。需要开展研究以确定导致这些性别差异的遗传、激素、环境和社会因素,并了解何时适当的临床应用应该有所不同或保持一致。
