Let's talk about sex. No, I'm not talking about the fun activity that two (or more) individuals do together. I'm talking about sex: the biological distinction that defines you as either male or female. Your sex plays an integral role in your overall health, including your susceptibility to certain diseases and conditions.

You didn’t have a choice in the matter, but at least you have the following quiz to inform you of things to look out for (plus, I've also thrown in some fun facts to mention at your next cocktail party!).

a. True
b. False
c. I went over my minutes again.

2. Who's more prone to depression?
a. Men
b. Women
c. Both have an equal risk.

a. The man
