Health experts are urging more clinical trials in the UK to focus on women's health, as data reveals significant under-representation of women in research. With studies showing more male-only trials than female-only ones, and alarming figures indicating pregnant and breastfeeding women's participation at just 1.1% and 0.6% respectively, experts stress the dire implications for women's health outcomes. The lack of evidence limits informed decision-making for women and their physicians regarding treatments. This gender gap in trials calls for urgent action to enhance women's health research and improve clinical outcomes.
