在我们研究疾病的性别差异和疾病解释的性别差异时，我们真的有因变量吗？本文回顾了过去十年该领域的文献，旨在论证由于健康/疾病定义中概念和方法上的困难，迄今为止可用的分析存在严重问题。医学定义和外行定义、精神和身体疾病、疾病本身和疾病行为之间的混淆是关于第一个问题提出的问题：概念和定义的不可通约性。方法论部分讨论了代理受访者、男性和女性患病经历的差异以及不正确的比率计算等问题。
Do we really have a dependent variable in our study of the sex differences in illness and sex differences in the explanations for illness? The purpose of this paper, which reviews the literature in this area over the past decade, is to argue that because of both conceptual and methodological difficulties in the definition of health/illness, there are serious problems in the available analyses to date. Confusions between medical and lay definitions, mental and physical illness, illness per se and illness behavior are among the issues raised with respect to the first issue: conceptual and definitional incommensurability. Proxy respondents, distinctions between males and females in illness experience, and improper rate calculation are among the issues discussed in the section concerning methodology.
