Women's health and sex differences research remain understudied. In 2022, to address the topic of sex differences, the Ludeman Family Center for Women's Health Research (LFCWHR) at the University of Colorado (LudemanCenter.org) held its third National Conference, "Sex Differences Across the Lifespan: A Focus on Metabolism." The research presentations and discussions from the 2022 conference addressed cardiometabolic sex differences across the lifespan and included sessions focusing on scientific methods with which to study sex differences, effects of estrogen on metabolism, and sex differences in cardiovascular disease-implications for women and policy among others. Over 100 participants, including basic scientists, clinical scientists, policymakers, advocacy group leaders, and federal agency leadership participated. The meeting proceedings reveal that although exciting advances in the area of sex differences have taken place, significant questions and gaps remain about women's health and sex differences in critical areas of health. Identifying these gaps and the subsequent research that will result may lead to important breakthroughs.
女性健康和性别差异研究仍然不足。2022 年，为了解决性别差异问题，科罗拉多大学的 Ludeman 家庭女性健康研究中心（LudemanCenter.org）举办了第三届全国会议，主题为“跨越生命周期的性别差异：关注代谢”。2022 年会议的研究报告和讨论涵盖了整个生命周期的心脏代谢性别差异，包括关注研究性别差异的科学方法、雌激素对代谢的影响以及心血管疾病中的性别差异——对女性和政策的影响等方面。超过 100 名参与者参加了会议，包括基础科学家、临床科学家、政策制定者、倡导团体领袖和联邦机构领导层。会议记录显示，尽管在性别差异领域取得了令人兴奋的进展，但在妇女健康和性别差异的关键领域仍存在重大问题和差距。确定这些差距以及随后的研究可能会带来重要的突破。
