- Hospital admissions data in England reveals gender-specific reasons for hospitalization.
- Male-dominated reasons include violence, physical labor, sports, and machinery accidents.
- Female-dominated reasons include pregnancy, beauty treatments, animals, and mental health.
- The data highlights stereotypes but focuses on the most gender-specific causes, not the most common.
- Admissions with fewer than 1,000 cases in three years were excluded for relevance.
- Some causes have complex names, simplified for clarity (e.g., 'Agents primarily acting on muscles' likely relates to Botox or oxytocin).
- A searchable table of the data is planned for future exploration.
- Feedback suggests consolidating pregnancy-related causes to reveal more varied female-majority admission reasons.
