Sex Differences in Health: New Study Reveals Insights

A recent international study led by researchers from Queen Mary University of London’s Precision Healthcare University Research Institute (PHURI) has uncovered new insights into the underlying biological mechanisms that contribute to differences in health risks, symptoms, and outcomes between males and females.

Published in Nature Communications, the study conducted in collaboration with the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité, Universitätsmedizin Berlin, and the Medical Research Council (MRC) Epidemiology Unit at the University of Cambridge, analyzed data from UK Biobank and the Fenland study. The team delved deep into the genetic links between approximately 6,000 proteins and hundreds of diseases in a cohort of 56,000 individuals of both sexes.

The researchers discovered that two-thirds of the proteins studied exhibited differences in levels between males and females. Interestingly, only a small fraction of around 100 proteins showed variations in the genetic “switches” that control their levels when comparing between the two sexes. This suggests that while there are differences in protein expression between males and females, these variances are not solely dictated by genetic differences.

The study underscores the importance of looking beyond genetics and medical factors like hormones when examining health disparities between males and females. Non-medical factors such as socio-economic status, lifestyle choices, and environmental influences also play a significant role in shaping health outcomes.

Lead author of the study, Mine Koprulu, emphasized the significance of the findings, stating, “For the first time in history, we are able to study human biology at this level of detail—across genes, proteins, and more. Our findings highlight the need to better understand the factors that impact health differences at the genetic level and beyond to create more tailored and equitable healthcare for everyone.”

Professor Claudia Langenberg, Director of PHURI at Queen Mary, highlighted the implications of the study for drug development and precision medicine. She noted that understanding population differences in the regulation of proteins, such as those between males and females, is crucial for guiding personalized medicine approaches.

The study’s data were categorized based on chromosomal information, with acknowledgment that this may not always align with an individual’s gender identity. While the study’s findings provide valuable insights into sex differences in health, the researchers stress the need for a more holistic approach that considers a range of factors beyond genetics and biology.

This groundbreaking research sheds new light on the complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that contribute to health differences between males and females. By exploring these multifaceted influences, healthcare providers can develop more effective and inclusive strategies for promoting health and well-being across genders.
