AB The  National  Institutes  of  Health’s  Office  of  Research  on  Women’s  Health  celebrated  its  twentieth  anniversary  in  2010  with  a  new  strategic  plan  recognizing  the  study  of  the  biologic  basis  of  sex  differences  as  a  distinct  scientific  discipline.  It  has  become  clear  that  both  sex  chromosomes  and  sex  hormones  contribute  to  these  differences.  Indeed,  it  is  recommended  that  the  term  sex  difference  be  used  for  biologic  processes  that  differ  between  males  and  females  and  the  term  gender  difference  be  used  for  features  related  to  social  influences.  The  clinical  discipline  of  women’s  health  emphasizes  greater  attention  to  patient  education  and  involvement  in  disease  prevention  and  medical  decision-making  and  has  become  a  model  for  patient-centered  health  care.
