Gender-related variables for health research

Abstract: Background In this paper, we argue for Gender as a Sociocultural Variable (GASV) as a complement to Sex as a Biological Variable (SABV). Sex (biology) and gender (sociocultural behaviors and attitudes) interact to influence health and disease processes across the lifespan—which is currently playing out in the COVID-19 pandemic. This study develops a gender assessment tool—the Stanford Gender-Related Variables for Health Research—for use in clinical and population research, including large-scale… Show more

“…Further research in this area should try to integrate a broader definition of gender; however, for this to be conducted in large samples, these data will need to be self-reported routinely on journal submission systems. 28 More generally, a greater need exists to evaluate the role of gender, ethnicity, and cultural diversity on many aspects of the production of science. 29 Finally, we excluded duplicate manuscript submissions by identifying those that were transferred to another journal and removed those with an identical title and a submission date later than the original.…”

“…However, by using software that determines gender in a binary form—namely, “male” and “female” based solely on name and country—we were unable to take into account the gender identity of individuals and may have misrepresented people with diverse gender identities.

“…Tannenbaum et al found that only 35% of Canadian clinical practice guidelines (published between 2013 and 2015 for noncommunicable health conditions) that included “sex” and/or “gender” used the terms correctly [ 5 ] according to the Sex and Gender Equity in Research guidelines [ 29 ]. This result was expected, because only recently (in the 2010s) has a clear distinction between sex and gender, particularly in health research, reached the mainstream [ 7 , 29 , 31 , 32 , 36 – 42 ]. Indeed, we found a modest increase in the use of “sex” and “gender” over time.…”

“…Hence, it is of interest, how VR approaches considered gender. Gender is understood here as a complex [16,20], intersectional [21], and relational [22] psycho-socio-cultural variable with more than two possible expressions, including diversity as well as within-group heterogeneity [23,24]. Current research that addresses gender-sensitive approaches in health reports refers to a similar conceptualization of gender [22].…”
