4rd DIVA report: IBD and Gender Differences: Challenges in Diagnosis, Treatment, and Patient-Cetred Outcomes
We are proud to share new insights on gender differences in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), highlighting that women often face longer diagnostic delays, higher misdiagnosis rates, and greater psychosocial burden, while men may have higher surgical risks and different treatment responses.
Research shows these disparities affect quality of life, treatment patterns, and disease management, underlining the importance of integrating sex and gender into research, clinical care, and patient support.
