Abstract

This editorial discusses the field of developmental endocrinology and its importance in understanding the role of hormones in the growth and development of living organisms, particularly in women's health. It highlights the historical underinvestment in women's healthcare and research as a core disparity that needs to be addressed. The article also explores various studies on the pathophysiology and management of amenorrhea and estradiol deficiency in girls and young women, emphasizing the significance of hormone replacement therapy and the need for further research in this area. Overall, the editorial calls for increased funding and innovative approaches to support women's health research and bridge the existing health disparities. Another article examines the relationship between socioeconomic status, negative life events, and antenatal anxiety and depression in women. The study found that women with low socioeconomic status experienced a greater impact of negative life events on their mental health during pregnancy. This research provides valuable insights into the factors that contribute to antenatal mental health and highlights the importance of addressing socioeconomic disparities in healthcare.
