It is well established that the diets we consume and the individual dietary constituents within them significantly influence our health and risk of disease. Intriguingly, current evidence suggests that these effects are modulated, in part, by biological sex. However, our understanding of the interactions between sex and diet, and how they impact health and disease, has been limited by the historical underrepresentation of females in research and a lack of sex-stratified analytical approaches.
These interactions are complex, but gaining deeper insights into them holds the potential to enhance the effectiveness of dietary guidance and interventions, tailoring them to better meet the distinct needs of both men and women as we move toward more personalised and precise nutrition strategies.
This webinar will provide a summary of the current evidence and highlight key findings on this topic.
What will I gain from this webinar?
- You will be able to identify and describe the limitations in past and current research practices related to the consideration of sex differences.
- You will gain an understanding of the importance of sex differences and be able to illustrate this with examples from disease, pharmacology, and nutrition.
- You will be able to explain how sex differences influence health and disease outcomes, with a specific focus on nutritional factors.
