Sex and gender are critical contributors to overall health and disease, and considering both in research informs the development of prevention strategies and treatment interventions for both men and women. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research on Women's Health sponsored a preconference workshop on this topic at the 24th Annual Women's Health Congress, which was held in Crystal City, VA, in April 2016. The workshop featured presentations by NIH intramural and extramural scientists who presented data on a variety of topics including polycystic kidney disease, vaccine protection, depression, drug addiction, and cardiovascular disease. In this publication, we discuss the major points of each presentation and demonstrate the importance of considering sex and gender in biomedical research.
性别是影响整体健康和疾病的重要因素，在研究中同时考虑性别因素可以为男性和女性的预防策略和治疗干预措施的制定提供信息。美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）妇女健康研究办公室在 2016 年 4 月于弗吉尼亚州水晶城举行的第 24 届妇女健康大会之前专门举办了一个关于这个主题的会前研讨会。研讨会的特色是由 NIH 内部和外部的科学家进行演讲，他们介绍了各种主题的数据，包括多囊肾病、疫苗保护、抑郁症、药物成瘾和心血管疾病。在本出版物中，我们讨论了每个演讲的要点，并展示了在生物医学研究中考虑性别因素的重要性。
