Thank you.

It wasn't as common in men as in women - "It was four times more common in men than in women."
I should have punctuated it as:
It (whatever the trait/characteristic/behaviour) wasn't "as common in men as in women" - it was 'four times more common in men than in women.'
Sorry about the confusion.
