关于性别和健康的公共政策文件大多依赖于对性别的明确理解，而这种理解目前是不充分的。后结构主义思想是一种进步，但性别关系理论将性别视为在复杂的机构网络中运作的多维结构，为性别化体现及其与健康问题的联系提供了最有希望的方法。本文讨论了一些示例。一个关键的问题是如何使分析超越地方领域，特别是在世界范围内理解性别。对这一问题提出了一种相关的方法，认为性别体现与殖民主义的暴力历史、当代全球化的结构性暴力以及在世界范围内建立性别机构（包括公司、专业和卫生部门的国家机构）交织在一起。性别被视为一种积极的社会过程，使生殖身体成为历史，产生的健康后果不是作为一种副作用，而是在性别本身的形成过程中产生的。(C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
Public policy documents on gender and health mostly rely on categorical understandings of gender that are now inadequate. Poststructuralist thought is an advance, but relational theories of gender, treating gender as a multidimensional structure operating in a complex network of institutions, provide the most promising approach to gendered embodiment and its connection with health issues. Examples are discussed in this article. A crucial problem is how to move the analysis beyond local arenas, especially to understand gender on a world scale. A relational approach to this question is proposed, seeing gendered embodiment as interwoven with the violent history of colonialism, the structural violence of contemporary globalization, and the making of gendered institutions on a world scale, including the corporations, professions and state agencies of the health sector. Gender is seen as the active social process that brings reproductive bodies into history, generating health consequences not as a side-effect but in the making of gender itself.
