Less than a minute later, my husband had downloaded it to my phone and was entering a few personal data points — such as my age, weight and gender — to create a custom weight-loss plan.
Despite appearing to let users choose non-binary genders, Facebook still requires a primary gender to create an account — data which is in turn provided to advertisers, making the categorization of "male" and "female" a key but hidden part of its information architecture.

Systolic blood pressure was thus standardised for age and gender to create SD scores and all analyses for systolic blood pressure were run with the standardised variable.
Blood pressure was standardised for age and gender to create SD scores and child's weight was statistically controlled in all analyses.
The sampling frame for the baseline and endline surveys was the 2011 and the 2013 Agincourt HDSS annual census, respectively, limited to households with 18 35 year old residents, and then stratified by gender to create 'male' and 'female' sampling frames.
There were no significant differences between males and females for systolic or diastolic blood pressure at age 12. Again, systolic blood pressure was standardised for age and gender to create SD scores and all analyses for systolic blood pressure were run with the standardised variable.
