Although women's health has been under-attended for most of the 20th century, it has gained international attention in recent decades. Medical and social research on heart disease, lung cancer, HIV/AIDS, and trachoma indicate that bio-socio variables affect women's health differently from men's. With regard to diabetes, data on pregnancy, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), depression, and heart disease corroborate the differentials between men and women. Data also indicate that social factors place diabetic women at a disadvantage regarding access to treatment and outcomes. Ascertaining the precise interactions that cause these differences and applying this information to policies and programs are imperative in the 21st century.
尽管在20世纪的大部分时间里，女性健康问题一直未得到充分关注，但近几十年来，它已引起国际社会的关注。关于心脏病、肺癌、艾滋病毒/艾滋病和沙眼的医学及社会研究表明，生物社会变量对女性健康的影响与男性不同。就糖尿病而言，有关妊娠、糖尿病酮症酸中毒（DKA）、抑郁症和心脏病的数据证实了男女之间的差异。数据还表明，社会因素使糖尿病女性在获得治疗和治疗结果方面处于不利地位。确定导致这些差异的精确相互作用，并将这些信息应用于政策和项目，在21世纪势在必行。
