    Issues that affect both women and men still often tend to affect both in different ways – but the majority of medical research tends to just take what works for the standard male body and apply that to everyone regardless of sex instead of investigating sex-specific effects and tailoring solutions around that

          that’s a clinical bias, the person above was asking about a research bias.

          as of 2019:

          Behavioral research was the most inclusive, with both sexes in 81 percent of studies.

              clinical bias is not necessarily from the criteria. often the clinician is the one introducing the bias all on their own.
