1. Define maternal mortality. How has maternal mortality changed in the past century? Name two factors that
have contributed to this change.
Ans: Maternal mortality is a number statistic reflecting a woman’s chances of dying from causes related to
childbirth. Maternal mortality has dropped dramatically over the past 200 years throughout the developed world.
Factors contributing to this decline include the knowledge of germ theory; improved birthing assistance; improved
knowledge of coping with complications of delivery; greater access to medical care during childbirth; and access
to effective, safe family planning services. Unfortunately, the improvement has stalled, and even declined, in
some groups over the 21st century, and strong disparities exist along racial/ethnic lines.

2. Gender-based research has determined that women and men experience heart attacks differently. Explain how
including women in treatment research in the heart attack space improves the medical care that a woman
suffering a heart attack will receive.

3. Name three diseases or treatments in which gender exerts a significant influence. How do men and women
react differently?
Ans:
1. Heart disease: Heart disease strikes more women than men per year, but tends to appear later in women.
Women are more likely to have a second heart attack shortly after the first within in a year. Symptoms of heart
attack are not very as prominent in women, and they women tend to ignore them, resulting in fatality.
2. Depression: Women are more likely to suffer from depression than men, partly due to lesser lower serotonin
levels. Depression is two to three times more prevalent in women than men.
3. Osteoporosis: Women are much more likely to suffer from osteoporosis due to higher rate of bone loss
compared to men. Around 80% of osteoporosis patients are women.

4. Briefly describe the difference between analytic and descriptive studies. Which Into which category do clinical

are not. Clinical trials are analytic studies.
