Abstract
Respiratory diseases exhibit diverse patterns in prevalence, clinical presentations, and outcomes between men and women. Historically, certain conditions were more prevalent in men, but trends have shifted, highlighting the need to understand sex disparities in respiratory health. Social, environmental, and healthcare changes have reshaped the landscape of respiratory diseases, complicating diagnosis and treatment. Moreover, the underrepresentation of women in clinical trials has limited our understanding of their specific needs. In this review, we explore the sex differences in the prevalence, clinical characteristics, and presentation of respiratory diseases, emphasizing the importance of tailored approaches to diagnosis and management. By recognizing and addressing these disparities, we can advance toward more equitable and effective respiratory healthcare for all individuals.
