Wade et al., (2016) suggest that hospitalization rates for women are higher than those for men, even if the hospitalization is due to pregnancy and at childbirth. Wade et al. (2016) acknowledge that removing pregnancy and childbirth from the analysis actually shows that women are hospitalized less than men. Men are more likely to be hospitalized due to circulatory and respiratory diseases, as well as injuries and poisoning, while women are hospitalized due to cancer, mental disorders and musculoskeletal diseases. Wade et al. (2016) discuss the contribution of feminist theories that have explored the impact of sec and gender on health and illness, showing both macro and micro theories. Wade et al. (2016) acknowledge that some feminists have explained the use of macroeconomic theories to view gender as a social construct; others have taken microtheories and examined the impact of gender on our daily lives. The common theme between macro and micro theories when discussing sex and gender in health is the understanding that gender is a social construct and that it creates differences in terms of morbidity, mortality, access to health care and health care experiences.
