Abstract：
Accurately measuring gender and sex is crucial in public health and epidemiology. Iteratively reexamining how variables-including gender and sex-are conceptualized and operationalized is necessary to achieve impactful research. Reexamining gender and sex advances epidemiology toward its goals of health promotion and disease elimination. While we cannot reduce the complexities of sex and gender to simply an issue of measurement, striving to capture these concepts and experiences accurately must be an ongoing dialogue and practice-to the benefit of the field and population health. We assert that epidemiology must counteract misconceptions and accurately measure gender and sex in epidemiology. We aim to summarize existing critiques and guiding principles in measuring gender and sex that can be applied in practice.
摘要：
准确测量性别和性别在公共卫生和流行病学中至关重要。迭代地重新检查变量（包括性别和性别）的概念化和可操作性对于实现有影响力的研究是必要的。重新检查性别和性别使流行病学朝着促进健康和消除疾病的目标前进。虽然我们不能将性别和性别的复杂性简化为简单的衡量问题，努力准确地掌握这些概念和经验必须是一种持续的对话和实践，以造福实地和人口健康。我们断言，流行病学必须消除误解，并准确衡量流行病学中的性别和性别。我们的目标是总结现有的批评和指导原则，在衡量性别和性别，可以在实践中应用。
