Sex differences in immune function and disease risk are not easily explained by an evolutionary mismatch

A. M. Arner, B. Muhoya, M. S. Rozado, M. R. Gurven, J. Kahumbu, J. Kamau, P. Kinyua, F. Lotukoi, D. J. Martins, C. Miano, M. J. Montague, S. Njeru, J. Peng, P. Straub, M. M. Watowich, , A. J. Lea

This study examines sex differences in immune function and disease risk across populations, finding no consistent support for the evolutionary mismatch hypothesis.
