Women’s musculoskeletal health: insights from the 2024 National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine report on chronic conditions
Recommendations
As issued by the authors
Key research gaps: lack of sex-specific data, underrepresentation of women in clinical studies, minimal integration of musculoskeletal (MSK) health with other chronic conditions
Need for more comprehensive study designs considering hormonal, genetic and social determinants of health across the lifespan
Emerging but poorly understood evidence of detrimental effects on MSK biology in non-MSK chronic diseases that disproportionately affect women
Better diagnostics, increased investment and stronger representation of women in research studies
