SUMMARY:Hot Topics from Biology of Sex Differences Session
DESCRIPTION:Hot Topics from Biology of Sex Differences Session on May 10 at 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM MT is part of the Organization for the Study of Sex Differences (OSSD) Annual Meeting in May 2023. Learn more about the OSSD Annual Meeting here. \nThe session will be moderated by Jill Becker\, University of Michigan\, Professor of Psychology\, Research Professor Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience Institute. \nSWHR will present on its Biology of Sex Differences article\, “The roles of sex and gender in women’s eye health disparities in the United States\,” led by Irene O. Aninye\, Society for Women’s Health Research\, Chief Science Officer \nAbout the Article: Irene O. Aninye 1\, Kathleen Digre 2\, M. Elizabeth Hartnett 2\, Kira Baldonado 3\, Erin M.

Biological sex and social determinants of health contribute to eye health disparities and inequities for women that are clinically under-addressed\, resulting in undue burden on the healthcare ecosystem. Many causes of vision impairment are preventable or treatable\, yet eye health is not prioritized in research\, policy\, or public health measures to ensure optimal outcomes. Based on an assessment of the state of science regarding sex and gender differences in women’s eye health across the lifespan\, the Society for Women’s Health Research Women’s Eye Health Working Group identified priority areas in research\, clinical care\, and education to reduce disparities and improve patient care in women’s eye health. Consensus recommendations of the working group included using a systems approach that (1) incorporates a sex and gender lens to guide a comprehensive framework for future research; (2) increases health care provider and public education; and (3) expands inter-sector partnerships among ophthalmologic providers\, researchers\, and non-vision stakeholders.
