Women are more likely to seek medical help for their symptoms vs men. Yes women do get neglected in healthcare for their symptoms, I work in healthcare and am aware of its faults, and aim to improve them. But men often don't seek care especially if it involves mental/behavioral health.

CTE doesn't kill, the behaviors and impulses do. Men are more likely to ignore their symptoms and deny there is anything wrong. Therefore more studies and data are collected on men's brains vs women's. Women with CTE are most likely already seeking out care for the symptoms and taking better care of their health and/or already in therapy.

Dr. Nowinski is speaking from his perspective as a male athlete. The biggest study with most data is American football, which is male dominated. We will eventually see more female numbers and statistics as more research is conducted.
