Abstract

Abstract Risk factor-oriented epidemiology was largely disconnected from sociological theory. Recently, efforts have been made to integrate more systematically gender as a social concept in epidemiology. An intersectional multi-level approach to gender-sensitive epidemiology could move beyond a male-female dichotomy, allowing to understand the interdependence between various sexual and social identities and mechanisms of discrimination, and explore the complexity of gender-related influences on health.
