A growing body of literature indicates that diseases can affect
women and men differently. As sex differences extend far beyond
biology, it is crucial to adopt a bicultural approach towards
understanding human disease patterns and processes. This 1998 book
synthesizes modern medical research with paleopathological
investigations. Conditions such as osteoporosis and osteopenia,
iron deficiency anaemia, infection and immune reactivity and trauma
are explored. Recognizing the relationship between these conditions
and aspects of sex and gender in past populations assists in the
formulation of models from which modern disease processes can be
better understood. Exploring the differences will provide
provocative ideas for all those in physical anthropology,
archaeology, evolutionary biology, history of medicine and women's
studies interested in how sex and gender impacts on disease.
