Talk:Female predominant diseases

New ref added
Vos 2010 (now added) is data from the World Health Organization for all neurological and psychological disorders eg Alzheimer's, Parkinsons.

This is also licensed for full reuse - one of the images (Fig 2?) would be great for this page.

Suggested refs to add

 * Sec differences in autoimmune diseases DOI: 10.1177/0961203306069353 See table on Gender ratios


 * THE GLOBAL BURDEN OF DISEASE Update 2004 - WHO - see around p72 for data by gender.

Mental health plus headaches?
Might be worth adding some of these to the table - headaches and migraines more common in women according to Vos2010, but also a Fukuda criteria. More common depression in women means any CFS studies not controlling for gender will see greater rates of depression and anxiety compared to general population as per biopsychosocial model. Anorexic and eating disorders far more common in women / girls - but are they now common in females with CFS? Can't find any good data on this. notjusttired (talk) 07:17, 31 March 2019 (EDT)

Gender discrimination?
If covering a brief mention plus adding info to Ethical issues or Stigma and discrimination would be helpful. No particularly good sources for this but I think this is a sociology topic. notjusttired (talk) 07:17, 31 March 2019 (EDT)

Physical symptoms emphasized for men, ignored for women, reality of illness questioned for women. - notjusttired (talk) 19:44, 17 April 2019 (EDT)

Racial differences and discrimination
Leonard Jason has found (as well as others) that ethnic minorities are more likely to have CFS but less likely to be diagnosed. Is a separate page worth adding for this? notjusttired (talk) 07:17, 31 March 2019 (EDT)
 * Edit: I changed your comment to read “ethnic minorities” instead of “ethical minorities”. You gave me a good laugh there!
