The evidence points to differences in the impact of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) in males and females due to different exposure to risk factors and inherent characteristics. To identify risks associated with MSDs, ergonomic assessment is carried out by applying various methods. The aim of this scoping review was to determine to what extent ergonomic assessment methods consider sex-related factors and if they were found to do so, to determine the extent of this consideration. A total of 31 papers on 32 ergonomic assessment methods were analysed in the review. Of these 32 methods, only 6 considered sex as an assessment parameter or when interpreting the results. The results revealed that the limited consideration given to the sex factor in ergonomic methods, together with the different impacts of MSDs and their consequences according to a person's sex, supports the importance of including sex factors in ergonomic assessment methods. This scoping review determined to what extent ergonomic assessment methods consider sex-related factors and if they do so, to establish the extent of such consideration. Of the 32 methods analysed, only 6 considered a person's sex. The results revealed that only a limited consideration is given to the sex factor in ergonomic methods.
由于接触危险因素和固有特征的不同，证据表明肌肉骨骼疾病（MSD）对男性和女性的影响存在差异。为了识别与 MSD 相关的风险，通过应用各种方法进行人体工程学评估。本范围综述的目的是确定人体工程学评估方法在何种程度上考虑了与性别相关的因素，如果有考虑到，确定考虑的程度。在综述中分析了 31 篇关于 32 种人体工程学评估方法的论文。在这 32 种方法中，只有 6 种方法将性别作为评估参数或在解释结果时考虑。结果表明，在人体工程学方法中对性别因素的考虑有限，以及 MSD 的不同影响及其对性别的后果，支持在人体工程学评估方法中纳入性别因素的重要性。本范围综述确定了人体工程学评估方法在何种程度上考虑了与性别相关的因素，如果有考虑到，确定考虑的程度。在分析的 32 种方法中，只有 6 种方法考虑了人的性别。结果表明，在人体工程学方法中，仅对性别因素进行了有限的考虑。
