National Report Highlights Research Gaps in Women's Musculoskeletal Health
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) released a report in 2024 focusing on chronic conditions affecting women, particularly musculoskeletal (MSK) health. The report identifies significant research gaps, including the lack of sex-specific data and underrepresentation of women in clinical studies. It emphasizes the need for comprehensive study designs that consider hormonal, genetic, and social determinants of health. The American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR) reviewed the report, highlighting the need for better diagnostics and increased investment in women's MSK health research.
