Gender Effects in Allergology: Secondary Publications and Update

    January 2017 in “ ˜The œWorld Allergy Organization journal ”

    TLDR Gender differences affect allergy prevalence, severity, and response to environmental toxins, with women often more affected than men.
    The document reviewed gender effects in allergology, highlighting how sexual hormones influence immune responses and allergic conditions. It noted that women, due to estrogen, are more prone to asthma and food allergies post-puberty, with obesity exacerbating asthma in girls but not boys. Hormone replacement and contraceptives can trigger hypersensitivities, leading to conditions like migraines and eczema. Occupational allergies also show gender disparities, with women in certain professions at higher risk. Additionally, pets' allergies were discussed, noting some allergens are sex-dependent. The collection aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of these gender-specific allergic responses.
