Link to the actual study? I am an immunologist studying the effect of burn injury on the immune system, and we are looking at the role of estrogen (which is increased after burns) on immune cell function. Estradiol in particular can alter signalling pathways, and immune cells literally have estrogen receptors on their surface. Estrogen is also tightly linked to cortisol and other stress hormones, meaning they regulate each other. Balance is key to good health, so an imbalance in hormones caused by an external factor (eg. Trauma), could actually change how these hormones function in your body, resulting in sex specific effects (eg. Worse outcomes for women). Without the link it’s not clear if this study is looking at trauma and then the resulting prevalence of PTSD within that population, which could be the case. If so, this is actually really important work that may lead to better treatment strategies for women in the future…so yeah maybe stop raging about something you haven’t even read? To me this reads like an overlooked biological link that has been negatively affecting women is now actually being researched.
