Description
Victoria Navarro-Compán and co-authors compare women's and men's paths through a spinal arthritis in a 2024 survey study. The disease, axial spondyloarthritis, stiffens the spine over years. The survey spans thousands of patients in twenty-seven countries.
Data from 5,555 patients fed the comparison, with women at fifty-five percent. Women waited about two and a half years longer for a diagnosis than men. A key gene marker of the disease showed up less often in women. Women reported a heavier disease burden and worse mental health links. They also used standard drug classes more often. The authors urge clinics to spot the disease in women sooner and weigh its full load.
