Abstract:
Asthma is a common disease with increasing prevalence worldwide. Sex differences in asthma vary with age. The prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in females appears to be increasing.There is increasing clinical evidence for sex differences in incidence, morbidity, and mortality of obstructive lung disease. The purpose of this review is to define sex differences in epidemiology, symptom profiles, and management. This provides valuable information which could aid the management of asthma and COPD. There is still a high amount of research in gender medicine to do.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Smoking is a primary risk factor for COPD, with over 80% of patients having a history of it. Patients typically experience progressive dyspnea or labored breathing, frequent coughing, and recurrent pulmonary infections. Many eventually succumb to respiratory failure, characterized by...

Alveolar Surface Tension
The alveolar fluid lines the luminal surface of the alveoli and exerts a force called surface tension. This force is caused by the polar water molecules in the liquid being more strongly attracted to each...
