Gender medicine is a multi-faceted field of investigation integrating various aspects of psycho-social and biological sciences but it mainly deals with the impact of the gender on human physiology, pathophysiology, and clinical features of diseases. In Italy, the Decree Law 81/2008 recently introduced the gender issue in the risk assessment at the workplaces.
This review briefly describes our current knowledge on gender medicine and on the Italian legislation in risk management. Public or private scientific institutions should be the first to pay attention to the safety of their workers, who are simultaneously subjected to biological, chemical and physical agents. The Istituto Superiore di Sanità (ISS) is beginning a project funded by INAIL, to monitor the hepatitis B, measles, rubella, mumps, pertussis, chickenpox, tetanus vaccines immune coverage in health care workers in Italy.
The analysis of the collected data will be disaggregated for men and women and statistically analyzed with respect to the time intervals from vaccination.
The results could provide useful elements to implement prevention and health surveillance programs in occupational medicine.
性别医学是一个多方面的研究领域，整合了心理社会科学和生物科学的各个方面，但它主要关注性别对人类生理学、病理生理学以及疾病临床特征的影响。在意大利，第81/2008号法令最近在工作场所的风险评估中引入了性别问题。
本综述简要介绍了我们目前关于性别医学和意大利风险管理立法的知识。公共或私人科学机构应首先关注其工作人员的安全，这些工作人员同时受到生物、化学和物理因素的影响。意大利国家高等卫生研究院（ISS）正在开展一个由意大利国家工伤事故保险协会（INAIL）资助的项目，以监测意大利医护人员中乙肝、麻疹、风疹、腮腺炎、百日咳、水痘、破伤风疫苗的免疫覆盖率。
收集到的数据将按男性和女性进行分类，并就接种疫苗后的时间间隔进行统计分析。
这些结果可为实施职业医学中的预防和健康监测计划提供有用的依据。
