The integration of sex and gender in medical research clinical practice is increasingly recognized as a cornerstone for achieving equitable health outcomes. Biological influence the manifestation, progression, treatment response numerous diseases. influences disease outcomes through genetic, hormonal, physiological factors, while impacts them via identity, societal roles behaviors. Historically, has focused predominantly on male body, leading to diagnostic therapeutic gaps women gender-diverse populations. In particular, remain underrepresented trials, suboptimal strategies addition, many conditions, such cardiovascular, metabolic neurological diseases, sex-specific variations risk factors presentation are prominent. present review discusses critical importance distinguishing between preclinical research, necessity incorporating these variables across all stages from study design analysis reporting studies trials. By distinct but interacting variables, we propose framework advance equity foster personalized, inclusive healthcare. This approach will promote development gender-sensitive guidelines, enhance accuracy tools, ultimately contribute improved individuals, regardless their or identity.

ABSTRACT Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has become the most common chronic globally. MASLD is a multisystem where metabolic dysfunction plays key role in development of and its relevant liver‐related morbidities extrahepatic complications, such as cardiovascular disease, kidney certain types cancers. Among least examined MASLD‐related an ever‐increasing number observational studies have reported positive association between risk serious bacterial infections (SBI) requiring hospital admission. This remained significant those statistical analysis was adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, obesity, type 2 diabetes other comorbidities. Notably, incidence rates SBI were further increased with more advanced MASLD, especially patients cirrhosis, also observed some acute viral infections, including SARS‐CoV‐2 infection, leading to severe COVID‐19. In this narrative review article, we provide overview literature on (a) recent epidemiological data linking non‐bacterial admission, (b) putative underlying mechanisms through which may increase susceptibility both directly immune associated cirrhosis portal hypertension, (c) practical clinical implications growing global population MASLD.

Abstract Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD, previously termed NAFLD, nonalcoholic fatty disease) is a complex multifactorial showing generally higher prevalence and severity in men than women.

Several genetic, hormonal, environmental lifestyle factors may contribute sex differences MASLD development, progression outcomes. However, after menopause, the sex‐specific of shows an opposite trend between pointing relevance oestrogen signalling sexual dimorphism MASLD. The patatin‐like phospholipase domain‐containing protein 3 ( PNPLA3 ) gene, that encodes triacylglycerol lipase plays crucial role lipid metabolism, has emerged as key player pathogenesis MASLD, with I148M variant being strongly associated increased fat content severity. Recent advances indicate carrying can be risk factor for especially To elucidate molecular mechanisms underlying development several vitro, ex vivo models have been developed.
