[Gender perspective in clinical epidemiology. Learning from spondyloarthritis].

CONCLUSIONS: Achieving scientific and professional excellence in health care is also a gender issue. Analysing from a gender perspective the history of the diseases, how their diagnosis criteria were established and the normality and abnormality cut-off points, especially identified diseases of men, such as spondyloarthritis, is a priority to re-conceptualize medicine; as well as providing information on how the gender norms and values of the context interact with the lives of those who suffer these diseases.
