Socially constructed gender roles and expectations shape the way diseases manifest, are diagnosed, and are treated in both men and women. In India, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, and cancers are major causes of mortality. Studies show that men have a higher prevalence of cardiovascular diseases and strokes.
