- Women face far higher rates of autoimmune conditions like lupus and multiple sclerosis because of their double set of X chromosome immune genes and the effects of hormones such as estrogen
- Men experience more severe viral infections, higher cancer risks, and age-related immune decline in part due to testosterone's suppressive effects and the gradual loss of Y chromosomes in immune cells
