*Abstract / **Resumen:*

Attention to the concepts of `sex’ and `gender’ is increasingly being
recognized as contributing to better science through an augmented
understanding of how these factors impact on health inequities and related
health outcomes. However, the ongoing lack of conceptual clarity in how sex
and gender constructs are used in both the design and reporting of health
research studies remains problematic. Conceptual clarity among members of
the health research community is central to ensuring the appropriate use of
these concepts in a manner that can advance our understanding of the sex-
and gender-based health implications of our research findings. During the
past twenty-five years much progress has been made in reducing both sex and
gender disparities in clinical research and, to a significant albeit lesser
extent, in basic science research. Why, then, does there remain a lack of
uptake of sex- and gender-specific reporting of health research findings in
many health research journals? This question, we argue, has significant
health equity implications across all pillars of health research, from
biomedical and clinical research, through to health systems and population
health.
