“…Sex, gender, sexual orientation, and their interactions demand attention in ADRD. Two challenges include the over‐reliance on self‐reported sex and gender, which often assesses only binary categories and assumes homogeneity within categories, 41,42 and the underrepresentation of sex and gender minority (SGM) populations in clinical research 38 . Emergent research shows that sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity can impact dementia outcomes through the process of social marginalization 28 …”

Sex or gender differences in the risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) differ by world region, suggesting that there are potentially modifiable risk factors for intervention. However, few epidemiological or clinical ADRD studies examine sex differences; even fewer evaluate gender in the context of ADRD risk. The goals of this perspective are to: (1) provide definitions of gender, biologic sex, and sexual orientation. and the limitations of examining these as binary variables; (2) provide an overview of what is known with regard to sex and gender differences in the risk, prevention, and diagnosis of ADRD; and (3) discuss these sex and gender differences from a global, worldwide perspective. Identifying drivers of sex and gender differences in ADRD throughout the world is a first step in developing interventions unique to each geographical and sociocultural area to reduce these inequities and to ultimately reduce global ADRD risk.

“…Unlike FGI, FGD is a more open research method than FGI by allowing debaters to express their opinions independently of each other, not by answering questions set by one-sided interviews. The qualitative study of the FGD approach is interpreted by participants as active collaborators producing knowledge [12]. Processing and analysis of FGI and FGD were analyzed using the constant comparison method of the grounded theory based on the transcription data recorded in the interview and the site notes prepared in the discussion process.…”

Through the early childhood education policy plan for promoting the common good based on the complex system theory, the government intends to present the early childhood education policy plan based on the principle of the common line in which everyone can coex ist and contribute to the rational policy decision-making process. Big data analysis using Text om, two FGD analysis for four experts in early childhood education and 20 AHP analysis we re conducted for 16 experts in early childhood education field, and six FGI and 4 experts in early childhood education policy, to explore policies for early childhood education based on c omplex system theory. Top factors such as interest group factors, governance factors, and soc ial factors were presented for the promotion of joint election and early childhood education policies. As a result of a detailed review of the comprehensive weighting of the early childho od education policy measures to promote the common good, it was found that among the 1 5 subtexts, the highest weighting from the expert panel was the establishment of a cooperati ve network among stakeholders related to early childhood education policies. The results of t he study provide meaningful implications that the first hierarchy, the "group of stakeholders" factor, can be interpreted as having the highest weighting in the analysis of the importance of the top factors.

“…On the suggestion of classifying sex through genotyping techniques, other authors argue that we have to consider whether “sex” should be restricted to reproductive differences between males and females, or extended to include all biological differences between males and females [41,42]. Moreover, researchers in a qualitative study [42] thought that the traditional definition of “sex” was not sufficient for understanding the biological body, stressing “it was difficult to define where ‘sex’ and ‘gender’ started and ended as the concepts were seen as intertwined”.…”

“…Measuring gender is still more difficult than measuring sex in biomedical research studies and nutritional genomics in particular [16,32,33,34,35,36,41,42,44]. Despite there being many definitions, they generally agree on stating that gender “is a multidimensional social construct that is culturally based and historically specific, and thus constantly changing” [44].…”

A Guide to Applying the Sex-Gender Perspective to Nutritional Genomics

Precision nutrition aims to make dietary recommendations of a more personalized nature possible, to optimize the prevention or delay of a disease and to improve health. Therefore, the characteristics (including sex) of an individual have to be taken into account as well as a series of omics markers. The results of nutritional genomics studies are crucial to generate the evidence needed so that precision nutrition can be applied. Although sex is one of the fundamental variables for making recommendations, at present, the nutritional genomics studies undertaken have not analyzed, systematically and with a gender perspective, the heterogeneity/homogeneity in gene-diet interactions on the different phenotypes studied, thus there is little information available on this issue and needs to be improved. Here we argue for the need to incorporate the gender perspective in nutritional genomics studies, present the general context, analyze the differences between sex and gender, as well as the limitations to measuring them and to detecting specific sex-gene or sex-phenotype associations, both at the specific gene level or in genome-wide-association studies. We analyzed the main sex-specific gene-diet interactions published to date and their main limitations and present guidelines with recommendations to be followed when undertaking new nutritional genomics studies incorporating the gender perspective.
