Re: The most male and female reasons to end up hospital
#3So to summarize...
Men, stop riding motorcycles Women, stop having kids
That last one might have some detrimental effects long term though.
So while men are taking risks, women take one for the team

I know you're joking but three of the top four are basically 'work related'. Men taking one for the team doing all the dangerous jobs.
And maybe if the men stop riding motorcycles the women will stop getting plastic surgery which is also shockingly high as a reason to end up in hospital.

Quoting the article:
>I’m having to choose my words carefully, because I need to stress one thing: these are not the most common reasons for men and women to be admitted to hospital. They are the most typically male and typically female.
If you go to https://leobenedictus.substack.com/p/that-hospital-admission... and sort by number of admissions, you get stuff like:
- Personal history of certain other diseases
- Personal history of medical treatment
- Personal history of allergy to drugs, medicaments and biological substances
- Personal history of other diseases and conditions

The article is careful to point out that these are not the most common reasons men/women wind up in the hospital. They are the reasons that have a very gendered split as to who experiences them. So even if men stopped riding motorcycles, there would not necessarily be a noticeable decrease in male hospitalization rates.

This is probably the wrong chart for the comparison. The entire top section involves fewer total people than 3 separate 100% women related items on the bottom.
The follow-up article sorted by absolute numbers is a bit better suited, and predictably a bit more bland. Births is nearly in the top 10 though.

or conversely, if women would get up on that scaffolding and help out their man, that would disappear from the list.

At least in my neck of the woods, road cyclists skew heavily male, I'd guesstimate 90%. Probably even higher for occupations like UberEats/Doordash, which spend all day biking and are thus more at risk of ending up in the hospital.
Update: looked up some stats/surveys, apparently cycling skews 75-80% male.
