Chronic diseases are a major global health concern, disproportionately affecting women. Key concerns include metabolic syndrome, autoimmune diseases (e.g., Systemic lupus erythematosus, SLE), gynecological cancers (breast, cervical), and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). In the USA, about 36% of women have metabolic syndrome. Breast cancer accounted for 12.5% of global new cancer cases in 2020, and CVD causes 37.4% of global women deaths, often underdiagnosed. Hormonal shifts, genetic susceptibility, and environmental factors drive these diseases. Effective interventions include targeted screening, lifestyle adjustments, and gender-tailored health education. However, challenges like misdiagnosis, healthcare disparities, and research limitations (small samples and gender bias) still persist. Future researches need comprehensive demographic data and multimorbidity studies. Targeted public health strategies are critical to improve women's health outcomes.
