ABSTRACT
SUMMARY Women and men can have the same illnesses, but with different prevalence and reactions to symptoms. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to emphasize that distinct traits between men and women require a different approach for each of them. METHODS: PubMed and Google Scholar were searched using the following terms: Disability Evaluations, Women's health, Osteoporosis, Osteoarthritis, and Lymphedema, Pregnancy. RESULTS/CONCLUSION: Disease management can go beyond the symptoms, assessing the long-term consequences and possibly the disabilities they can generate, compromising the quality of life of the person, his/her family members, and eventually caregivers.
