A tool for assessing sex/gender bias in epidemiological studies of occupational health: Pilot testing on studies of sedentary behaviour at the workplace and cardiometabolic health

The adapted checklist was applicable to assess the consideration of sex/gender in all studies. None of the primary studies considered sex/gender perspectives in all of the four categories. Further optimisation of the sex/gender tool seems warranted, based on further research on weighting individual categories or items and application of the checklist for occupational epidemiology in general.
