Re: If 'disease' effected teh menz it's be cured by now!

I think one of the issues is that for many diseases and drug trials, men have been the test group rather than more diverse populations. So, for example, although this is changing, much of the research into heart disease focused on men rather than women. Women actually experience heart attacks much differently than men a lot of the time and sometimes don't realize they are having them because they don't have the classic male heart attack symptoms of chest pain and shooting pain down the left arm. This is the same issue facing pediatric and adolescent medicine; we have lots of drug trials for how certain drugs affect adults but less info on how they affect children and adolescents even though the drugs are sometimes prescribed for those populations.
