The article concludes that the Mediterranean diet (MD) stands out as a model for sustainable and healthy eating, offering significant benefits for both human and planetary health. While it does not outperform vegetarian or vegan diets in terms of environmental impact, its nutritional quality, cultural acceptance, and moderate environmental footprint make it a practical and valuable dietary pattern. To maximize its benefits, policy and educational efforts should promote MD adherence and integrate sustainability considerations into dietary recommendations, addressing the challenges posed by globalization and shifting food preferences. Standardizing environmental impact measurements and considering broader sustainability indicators remain important areas for future research.

In the context of increasing sex differences in psychiatric disorders over time, it is urgent to reduce the sex differences in psychiatric disorders. The findings that sex differences in psychiatric disorders exist almost across the whole life emphasized the adoption of gendered mental health prevention strategies and consistent risk factor management over the lifecourse. The variation of such differences across age and socioeconomic status suggests that the current knowledge - females predominate in internalizing disorders and males predominate in externalizing disorders - can be improved by incorporating information on age and socioeconomic status.

International Women's Day highlights both women's achievements and ongoing efforts toward global gender equality. Gender disparities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) affect a country's innovation and ability to tackle global challenges. Therefore, recent national education policies have looked for ways to promote gender equality, particularly in the STEM subjects.
