Are women more at risk of #TBI?
👩⚕️ Yes, here’s why:
🔹 Smaller neck strength and mass
🔹 Hormonal fluctuations (menstrual cycle may affect recovery)
🔹 Higher rates of reported symptoms
TBI doesn’t affect everyone equally. We need more sex-specific research.

🧠 If women’s brain injuries aren’t studied, they’re not seen.
💸 If they’re not seen, they’re not funded.
🏥 If they’re not funded, better care doesn't happen.
Equity in research is not a luxury. It is a necessity.

🧬 Hormones like oestrogen and progesterone may influence brain injury response.
📈 Women report more severe symptoms and slower recovery after concussion.
But they’re underrepresented in both animal studies and clinical trials.
This matters.

🧠 Most concussion studies are based on male athletes.
But women often have different symptoms, longer recovery times, and are more likely to report persistent issues.
We need research that reflects everyone affected by TBI.
