Sex and Gender Considerations in Orthopaedic Research: Existing Barriers, What's Needed by Institutions and Research Departments, and How to Guide Junior Investigators and Faculty.

JBJS convened a symposium to discuss the reporting of sex and gender in research studies as an imperative to improve research methods and results to benefit all patients. Barriers to improved reporting include a lack of societal and cultural acceptance of its need; a lack of education regarding appropriate terminology and appropriate statistical methods and efficient study designs; a need for increased research funding to support larger group sizes; unknown concordance of cell and animal models with humans to reflect biologic variables such as sex; and a lack of understanding of key considerations of gender, race, and other social determinants of health and how these factors intersect. Attention to developing and disseminating best-practice statistical methods and to educating investigators (at all career levels), reviewers, funders, editors, and staff in their proper implementation will aid reporting.

Advancing user-centric design and technology adoption for aging populations: a multifaceted approach.

The global demographic shift toward an aging population necessitates a nuanced approach to developing and adopting assistive technologies tailored for older adults. This paper synthesizes key challenges, strategies, and recommendations identified in addressing the complex landscape of technology adoption and usage among aging populations. User-centric design and co-creation initiatives are vital for developing assistive technologies that meet the needs of older adults.
