For a wide range of diseases, diagnosis comes later in life for women than for men, according to a large Danish study.

根据丹麦的一项大规模研究，对于很大部分疾病，女性的确诊时间要比男性晚好几年。

Researchers don't know whether the later diagnoses are due to genetics, the environment, possible biases in the healthcare system - or some combination of reasons.

研究者不知道这个现象（女性更晚诊断）是因为遗传、环境、卫生医疗系统的偏见，或是几者皆有。

The study of health data from 6.9 million Danish people found that across hundreds of diseases, women on average were diagnosed when they were about four years older than the age at which the conditions were recognized in men.

这项来自六百九十万丹麦人的健康数据的研究，发现有数百种疾病，女人被诊断出来的时间平均比男人晚四年。

"We're not just looking at one disease here, we're looking at all diseases and we are looking at an entire population, from cradle to grave," lead author Soren Brunak from the University of Copenhagen told Reuters Health by phone.

哥本哈根大学的索恩·布鲁纳克通过电话告诉路透社健康栏目：“我们并不只关注一种疾病，我们关注所有疾病，观察所有的人，从他们出生到死亡。”

On average, women received cancer diagnoses 2.5 years after men. They received diagnoses for metabolic diseases like diabetes 4.5 years later.
