"Measurement and meaning: reporting sex in health research"

The Lancet

What  is  normal?  In  the  study  of  medicine,  from  the  laboratory  to  the  bedside  and  to  the  art  and  craft  of   public   health,   we   seek   and   apply   standards   and   measures of normality that are designed to show that there  is  a  baseline  from  which  variation  or  deviation  might be observed and possibly corrected for.Over    several    centuries    of    medical    and    health    research,  normal  has,  generally,  been  male.
