To examine the literature and identify main themes, methods and results of studies concerning food and nutrition addressed in research on transgender populations.
A systematic review conducted through July 2020 in the MedLine/PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science databases.
Of the 778 studies identified in the databases, we selected thirty-seven. The studies were recent, most of them published after 2015, being produced in Global North countries. The most often used study design was cross-sectional; the least frequently used study design was ethnographic. Body image and weight control were predominant themes (n 25), followed by food and nutrition security (n 5), nutritional status (n 5), nutritional health assistance (n 1) and emic visions of healthy eating (n 1).
The transgender community presents body, food and nutritional relationships traversed by its unique gender experience, which challenges dietary and nutritional recommendations based on the traditional division by sex (male and female). We need to complete the lacking research and understand contexts in the Global South, strategically investing in exploratory-ethnographic research, to develop categories of analysis and recommendations that consider the transgender experience.
研究探讨跨性别群体相关研究中涉及的食物和营养问题的主要主题、方法和结果。
2020 年 7 月前在 MedLine/PubMed、Scopus 和 Web of Science 数据库中进行的系统评价。
在数据库中确定了 778 项研究，我们从中选择了 37 项。这些研究都比较新，其中大多数是 2015 年后发表的，来自全球北方国家。最常使用的研究设计是横断面研究，最少使用的是民族志研究设计。身体意象和体重控制是主要主题（n=25），其次是食物和营养安全（n=5）、营养状况（n=5）、营养健康援助（n=1）和健康饮食的本土视角（n=1）。
跨性别群体的身体、食物和营养关系受到其独特性别经历的影响，这对基于传统性别（男性和女性）划分的饮食和营养建议提出了挑战。我们需要完善缺失的研究，并了解全球南方的背景，有策略地投资探索性民族志研究，以制定考虑跨性别经历的分析类别和建议。
