Regional differences in the sex ratio at birth in Mexico
Objective: The sex ratio at birth, defined as males/total (M/T) approximates 0.515 but is affected by many factors. Acute and chronic stress have been shown to lower M/T, and both regional and racial differences exist. This study analysed regional differences in M/T in Mexico.
Material and methods: Live births by sex and year were available for 1994-2020. Regional births were available for 2010-2020 for five regions: North, Centre, West, East and South.
Results: There were 68,423,415 births for 1994-2020 and 25,436,687 for 2010-2020 (M/T=0.5060, 95% confidence interval: 0.5058-0.5062). M/T was <0.515 (p<0.0001). Live births correlated negatively with year (p<0.0001). M/T fell for 1994-2003 then rose to 2020 (p<0.0001). M/T was highest in North followed by West, South, Centre and East (p<0.0001).
Conclusion: Chronic stress with socioeconomic deprivation may reduce M/T and may explain the low M/T found in this study from Mexico.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
