Despite Caroline Criado Perez's influential book highlighting bias in medical research, women are still underrepresented in clinical trials. A Guardian analysis of data from 2019-2023 found that 282 trials involving only male subjects were submitted for approval in the UK, compared to 169 focusing on women. This research inequity contributes to health disparities, particularly in areas like dementia and cancer survival rates. The study underscores a persistent gender bias, revealing that despite previous efforts to include women in clinical research, significant gaps remain, affecting overall health outcomes.
