However, there are so far few approaches to quantify gender in a retrospective manner in existing study datasets. We therefore aimed to develop a methodology that can be retrospectively applied to assess gender in existing cohorts. We used baseline data from the Berlin Aging Study II (BASE-II), obtained in 2009-2014 from 1869 participants aged 60 years and older. We identified 13 gender-related variables and used them to construct a gender score by using primary component and logistic regression analyses. Of these, nine variables contributed to a gender score: chronic stress, marital status, risk-taking behaviour, personality attributes: agreeableness, neuroticism, extraversion, loneliness, conscientiousness, and level of education. Females and males differed significantly in the distribution of the gender score, but a significant overlap was also found. Thus, we were able to develop a gender score in a retrospective manner from already collected data that characterized participants in addition to biological sex. This approach will allow researchers to introduce the notion of gender retrospectively into a large number of studies.","https://refubium.fu-berlin.de/handle/fub188/38449||http://dx.doi.org/10.17169/refubium-38167","eng","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","600 Technik, Medizin, angewandte Wissenschaften::610 Medizin und Gesundheit::610 Medizin und Gesundheit","Gender||Sex||Aging||Berlin Aging Study II||BASE-II||Gender score","Gender score development in the Berlin Aging Study II: a retrospective approach","Wissenschaftlicher Artikel","open access","15","10.1186/s13293-020-00351-2","Biology of Sex Differences","Springer Nature","33461607","12","2042-6410","Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin","Springer Nature DEAL","no"
