Tunisia: Women's mortality rises due to heart issues
A recent Tunisian study has shown that women experienced higher mortality rates compared to men in 2022 due to heart diseases, high blood pressure, and disorders related to the nervous system and rheumatism. The largest gaps were observed in cardiovascular diseases, Alzheimer’s, and dementia, with mortality rates of 2.24, 1.67, and 1.50 respectively. The study indicates that the gender gap is attributable to biological differences, highlighting the need to adopt gender-sensitive strategies in health planning and prevention to reduce these disparities.
