Most of the studies stressed the need for additional research in their given area of investigation, and gender differences it would seem remain better described than understood.

Conclusion

The research showed that there were some documented biological differences in the incidence of heart disease among American men and women, and these differences were further accentuated by a number of gender-related behaviors that may account for some of the disparity between the incidence of heart disease among men and women. It is reasonable to conclude that there are some innate biological differences between men and women that contribute to various health problems, with women being at higher risk of breast cancer for example than their male counterparts, but there were also some important psychological factors involved as well. Perhaps the most important finding to emerge from the review of the peer-reviewed and scholarly literature concerning biological and psychological differences between men and women as they affected the incidence of heart disease was the fact that some of these factors are controllable and men can minimize their risk of acquiring some types of heart disease by avoiding those behaviors that, although socially sanctioned, are known to increase the risk of acquiring heart disease such as smoking and drinking, as well as keeping a handle on stress and anger.
