性别和心理健康领域的研究表明，妇女受普通精神障碍和共病精神障碍的影响不成比例。然而，性别劣势的概念，其相关因素和心理健康结果得到了相对较少的研究关注。此外，近年来在性别弱势和常见精神障碍领域尚无已知的系统评价。因此，在这篇综述中，我们试图解构性别劣势的概念，确定性别劣势的重要相关因素，并说明其对常见精神障碍的影响。由于性别是一种社会结构，受个人文化和种族的影响很大，我们试图整合关于这一主题的国际文献，并在出现时突出主题的文化和种族相关性。最后，我们提供了从现有文献中获取的信息，确定了文献中的空白，并制定了这一领域未来研究的方向。
Research in the area of gender and mental health indicates that women are disproportionately affected by common mental disorders (CMDs) as well as co-morbid mental disorders. However, the concept of gender disadvantage, its correlates, and mental health outcomes has received relatively less research attention. In addition, there are no known systematic reviews in the area of gender disadvantage and common mental disorders in recent years. In this review we have therefore attempted to deconstruct the concept of gender disadvantage, identify important correlates of gender disadvantage and illustrate their influence on common mental disorders. Since gender is a social construct and is greatly influenced by one's culture and ethnicity, we have made an attempt to integrate international literature on the subject and highlight cultural and ethnic relevance of topics as they emerge. Finally, we have provided take home messages from existing literature, identified gaps in literature, and formulated directions for future research in this area.
