“…Появляются данные, что пренатальный материнский стресс может способствовать формированию поведенческих особенностей человека в зависимости от пола. Сообщалось, что у женщин такой стресс связан с депрессией и тревожностью во взрослой жизни, тогда как у мужчин отмечалась связь стресса с повышенным уровнем агрессии и снижением когнитивных способностей [33]. Возможно, что это имеет определенный адаптивный смысл: в неблагоприятных условиях высокий уровень тревожности у самок может привести к большей бдительности и защите потомства, тогда как агрессия у самцов может способствовать большему репродуктивному успеху.…”

An important condition for providing quality and safe care is to understand the differences between men and women in epidemiology, pathophysiology, risk factors, clinical performance of diseases, response to treatment and use of medical care. The first part of the review was devoted to the evolutionary mechanisms of differences in life expectancy and potential strategies for increasing life expectancy in men. The second part of the review examines sex and gender differences using the example of 3 groups of diseases, which, according to the World Health Organization, are the main causes of death in the European Region, in the programming of health and disease, as well as the reasons for the male-female health-survival paradox.

“…Among these factors, there is an increasing interest in examining how prenatal stress (e.g. depression, anxiety, stressful life events exposure) can increase the risk for children’s behavioural and emotional problems such as aggression, depression and anxiety [ 12 , 13 ].…”

Purpose Associations between prenatal earthquake exposure and children’s mental health remain unclear. Moreover, there is a paucity of research using quasi-experimental statistical techniques to diminish potential selection bias. Thus, this study aimed to explore the impact of prenatal exposure to the Chilean earthquake of 2010 on children’s behavioural and emotional problems between 1½ and 3 years old using propensity score matching. Methods Participants included 1549 families from the Encuesta Longitudinal de la Primera Infancia cohort in Chile. Maternal reports using the Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL) were used to assess behavioural and emotional problems between 1½ and 3 years old. Information on prenatal earthquake exposure was collected via maternal report. The Kernel matching estimator was used to compare the average treatment effects of children who were exposed to the earthquake compared to those who were not. Results Five of the seven CBCL outcomes were statistically significant after matching and adjustment for multiple testing, suggesting greater difficulties for exposed children which included emotional reactivity, anxious/depressed, sleep problems, attention problems, and aggression (mean difference of 0.69, 0.87, 0.73, 0.85, 3.51, respectively). The magnitude of the effect was small to medium. Conclusion Findings contribute to the potential causal inferences between prenatal earthquake exposure and increased behavioural and emotional problems in early childhood. Results suggest that in utero experiences may have long-term consequences for infants’ well-being, supporting the need for specific interventions in pregnancy after natural disasters.
