“…For example, the recently developed one-dimensional masculine gender score in the Dutch Doetinchem Cohort Study includes variables on education, with an educational level higher than one's partner indicating masculinity. 28 In the Netherlands the proportion of women with a high educational level has been steadily increasing, surpassing that of men in the early 2000's. 52 This shows how gendered components evolve over time, but also that certain components of a gender index may be considered masculine in one subgroup (e.g., older generations), and feminine in other subgroups (e.g., younger generations).…”

“…The sexual identity may be different to someone's physical appearance or biological sex [4]. Despite the known importance of gender on health, gender is currently not sufficiently represented in health science and for most diseases it is not possible to differentiate between sex and gender effects yet [5].The work of Vader et al [6], for instance, highlights the importance of gender and showed that gender can be seen as a mediator of sex differences. Specifically, a model considering gender showed that sex differences in chronic health problems narrowed or almost disappeared.…”

Gender is known to have a strong influence on health and illness in humans. Despite its relevance for treatment and outcome, gender is insufficiently considered in current health research. One hindering factor is the poor representation of gender information in clinical and health (meta) data. The protocol for a scoping literature review will further explore the state of the literature by identifying existing gender scores and understanding how these scores are currently being used in clinical and health settings. The protocol describes how gender scores will be evaluated along the dimensions of applicability and usage in scientific investigations. By identifying scores that can be applied on existing large-scale datasets it will suggests steps towards a retrospective gender assessment. Secondly, we will establish the basis for a recommendation of standardized gender scores for future investigations.
