Sex Differences in Stroke

 Darn, it is not about the quantity and quality of sex needed post stroke for men and women. I would be curious how your stroke medical professionals are ensuring that sex rehab is occurring for their patients.

Hopefully if you are male your recreational therapist has a solution for a collapsing arm during missionary style sex. I doubt many of us can do one armed pushups for compensation.

Sex Differences in Stroke

About this Research Topic

Stroke has a large and broad impact on society, with disproportional effects by sex. An estimated 80 million people worldwide are living with stroke. Nearly half of stroke survivors have residual deficits, including weakness or cognitive dysfunction, months after their stroke.

Women bear the brunt of disability, with women experiencing worse health-related quality of life after a stroke compared to men. By 2030, there will be an estimated 12 million stroke deaths and 70 million stroke survivors each year, and women will increasingly outnumber men. These statistics suggest an anticipated greater increase of the burden of stroke in women.

This Research Topic will focus on gaps in current knowledge, including but not limited to: sex and gender differences in race-ethnic minorities, interventions to increase awareness of the differences in stroke symptoms, access to rehabilitation, rehabilitation interventions that address specific disability in women and sex-specific interventions focused on health behaviors. We are also interested in gender disparities in stroke leadership including low-middle income countries.
