A more serious problem is that many basic research studies focus on the male body, and do not consider the physical differences between men and women. As a result, women's health problems in these areas are not appropriately addressed at the level of research or policy.
更嚴重的是，許多醫學基礎研究都以男性的身體作為研究對象，並沒有考慮男、女身體的差異，造成婦女健康問題因為研究方向或政策的偏忽，而無法獲得適當的醫療或解決。
