Over the past decade, traumatic brain injury (TBI) has emerged as a major public health concern, attracting considerable interest from the scientific community, clinical and behavioural services and policymakers, owing to its rising prevalence, wide-ranging risk factors and substantial lifelong familial and societal impact. This increased attention to TBI has resulted in increased funding and advances in legislation. However, many questions surrounding TBI remain unanswered, including questions on sex and gender trends with respect to vulnerability to injury, presentation of injury, response to treatment, and outcomes. Here, we review recent research efforts aimed at advancing knowledge on the constructs of sex and gender and their respective influences in the context of TBI, and discuss methodological challenges in disentangling the differential impacts of these two constructs, particularly in marginalized populations.
