Abstract
Gender medicine aims to improve the health condition of women and men by intervening both on the disease as a disorder requiring multidimensional care and on lifestyles that represent substantial risk factors. Gender is related to behavior and life experience: it influences the adoption of healthy habits, access and use of the health-care services, and the attitude of medical personnel [1]. The final objective is to reduce the incidence of disabling chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular and respiratory ones, cancer, and diabetes.
