Female Health Across the Tree of Life: Insights at the Intersection of Women's Health, One Health and Planetary Health.

ABSTRACT: Across the tree of life, female animals share biological characteristics that place them at risk for similar diseases and disorders. Greater awareness of these shared vulnerabilities can accelerate insight and innovation in women's health.
