A questionnaire was sent to senior partners in all general practices in Scotland designed to elicit experience of patients with gender dysphoria: a subjective experience of incongruity between genital anatomy and gender identity. Responses were received from 73% of practices. The prevalence of gender dysphoria among patients aged over 15 years was calculated as 8.18 per 100,000, with an approximate sex ratio of 4:1 in favour of male-to-female patients. One-third of gender-dysphoric patients known to practices had registered in the preceding 12 months, suggesting that patients with this condition are increasingly likely to present for medical care.
一份调查问卷被发送给了苏格兰所有普通诊所的资深合伙人,旨在了解性别焦虑症患者的情况:即生殖器解剖结构与性别认同之间不一致的主观体验。73%的诊所回复了问卷。15岁以上患者中性别焦虑症的患病率经计算为每10万人中有8.18人,男女患者的比例约为4:1,男性向女性转变的患者占优。诊所已知的性别焦虑症患者中有三分之一是在过去12个月内登记的,这表明患有这种疾病的患者越来越有可能寻求医疗护理。
