"Current methodological challenges in the study of sex and gender in health research"
"The study of sex and gender in biomedicine is a relatively new subject. Although data should be broken down “by sex and age”, a sex- and gender-sensitive analysis extends beyond this basic level and can add much value to our understanding of inequities in healthcare. We will discuss how sex and gender can be operationalized in more detail and how to address potential challenges."
