&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
A new study has found that mothers born in India but living in Canada are significantly more likely to have male babies for their second and third births compared with women in Canada.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Researchers from St. Michael&amp;rsquo;s Hospital and the University of Toronto conducted the study.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Our findings raise questions about why there are more male liveborns than female liveborns among Indian couples who have had two or more previous babies,&amp;quot; said Dr. Joel Ray, St. Michael&amp;rsquo;s Hospital and University of Toronto.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
For the study, the researchers looked at all singleton live births in Ontario &amp;mdash; 7,66,688 births &amp;mdash; between 2002 and 2007.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
They used the mother&amp;rsquo;s country or region of birth to categorize each birth, with 4,86,599 from Canada, Europe (58,505), India (31,978), China (23,818), rest of East Asia (18,971), Pakistan (18,018), South Korea (3,663) and others.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
They calculated male:female live births by country or region and the number of previous deliveries the mother had at the current birth (0, 1, 2, 3 or more). They also looked at the country of birth for fathers.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
For most women, the male:female ratio was 1.05, and the ratio did not change with increasing numbers of previous births.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
However, women from India and South Korea who had previous children were significantly more likely to give birth to males. For Indian-born women with more than one prior child, the male:female ratios were even more pronounced.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Previous research conducted in India and a study looking at Canadian census data for South Asian and East Asian immigrants show similar patterns of higher male:female ratios linked to increasing numbers of children, especially when the prior offspring were girls.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Whether this difference in sex ratios was the result of prenatal sex selection should be determined by direct study of practices of sex-selected preimplantation and pregnancy termination among individuals from various world regions,&amp;quot; said the researchers.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;In addition, an analysis of the duration of residence in Canada, access to fertility care, family income and parental preferences would be of value in describing factors that might influence prenatal sex selection,&amp;quot; they concluded.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The study was limited to singleton births and could not account for any sex selection in multiple pregnancies from fertility treatments. The researchers also could not determine the sex of older siblings born to the same mother.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The findings were published in CMAJ.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
A new study has found that mothers born in India but living in Canada are significantly more likely to have male babies for their second and third births compared with women in Canada.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Researchers from St. Michael&amp;rsquo;s Hospital and the University of Toronto conducted the study.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Our findings raise questions about why there are more male liveborns than female liveborns among Indian couples who have had two or more previous babies,&amp;quot; said Dr. Joel Ray, St. Michael&amp;rsquo;s Hospital and University of Toronto.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
For the study, the researchers looked at all singleton live births in Ontario &amp;mdash; 7,66,688 births &amp;mdash; between 2002 and 2007.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
They used the mother&amp;rsquo;s country or region of birth to categorize each birth, with 4,86,599 from Canada, Europe (58,505), India (31,978), China (23,818), rest of East Asia (18,971), Pakistan (18,018), South Korea (3,663) and others.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
They calculated male:female live births by country or region and the number of previous deliveries the mother had at the current birth (0, 1, 2, 3 or more). They also looked at the country of birth for fathers.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
For most women, the male:female ratio was 1.05, and the ratio did not change with increasing numbers of previous births.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
However, women from India and South Korea who had previous children were significantly more likely to give birth to males. For Indian-born women with more than one prior child, the male:female ratios were even more pronounced.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Previous research conducted in India and a study looking at Canadian census data for South Asian and East Asian immigrants show similar patterns of higher male:female ratios linked to increasing numbers of children, especially when the prior offspring were girls.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Whether this difference in sex ratios was the result of prenatal sex selection should be determined by direct study of practices of sex-selected preimplantation and pregnancy termination among individuals from various world regions,&amp;quot; said the researchers.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;In addition, an analysis of the duration of residence in Canada, access to fertility care, family income and parental preferences would be of value in describing factors that might influence prenatal sex selection,&amp;quot; they concluded.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The study was limited to singleton births and could not account for any sex selection in multiple pregnancies from fertility treatments. The researchers also could not determine the sex of older siblings born to the same mother.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The findings were published in CMAJ.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
A new study has found that mothers born in India but living in Canada are significantly more likely to have male babies for their second and third births compared with women in Canada.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Researchers from St. Michael&amp;rsquo;s Hospital and the University of Toronto conducted the study.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Our findings raise questions about why there are more male liveborns than female liveborns among Indian couples who have had two or more previous babies,&amp;quot; said Dr. Joel Ray, St. Michael&amp;rsquo;s Hospital and University of Toronto.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
For the study, the researchers looked at all singleton live births in Ontario &amp;mdash; 7,66,688 births &amp;mdash; between 2002 and 2007.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
They used the mother&amp;rsquo;s country or region of birth to categorize each birth, with 4,86,599 from Canada, Europe (58,505), India (31,978), China (23,818), rest of East Asia (18,971), Pakistan (18,018), South Korea (3,663) and others.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
They calculated male:female live births by country or region and the number of previous deliveries the mother had at the current birth (0, 1, 2, 3 or more). They also looked at the country of birth for fathers.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
For most women, the male:female ratio was 1.05, and the ratio did not change with increasing numbers of previous births.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
However, women from India and South Korea who had previous children were significantly more likely to give birth to males. For Indian-born women with more than one prior child, the male:female ratios were even more pronounced.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Previous research conducted in India and a study looking at Canadian census data for South Asian and East Asian immigrants show similar patterns of higher male:female ratios linked to increasing numbers of children, especially when the prior offspring were girls.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Whether this difference in sex ratios was the result of prenatal sex selection should be determined by direct study of practices of sex-selected preimplantation and pregnancy termination among individuals from various world regions,&amp;quot; said the researchers.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;In addition, an analysis of the duration of residence in Canada, access to fertility care, family income and parental preferences would be of value in describing factors that might influence prenatal sex selection,&amp;quot; they concluded.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The study was limited to singleton births and could not account for any sex selection in multiple pregnancies from fertility treatments. The researchers also could not determine the sex of older siblings born to the same mother.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The findings were published in CMAJ.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
A new study has found that mothers born in India but living in Canada are significantly more likely to have male babies for their second and third births compared with women in Canada.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Researchers from St. Michael&amp;rsquo;s Hospital and the University of Toronto conducted the study.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Our findings raise questions about why there are more male liveborns than female liveborns among Indian couples who have had two or more previous babies,&amp;quot; said Dr. Joel Ray, St. Michael&amp;rsquo;s Hospital and University of Toronto.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
For the study, the researchers looked at all singleton live births in Ontario &amp;mdash; 7,66,688 births &amp;mdash; between 2002 and 2007.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
They used the mother&amp;rsquo;s country or region of birth to categorize each birth, with 4,86,599 from Canada, Europe (58,505), India (31,978), China (23,818), rest of East Asia (18,971), Pakistan (18,018), South Korea (3,663) and others.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
They calculated male:female live births by country or region and the number of previous deliveries the mother had at the current birth (0, 1, 2, 3 or more). They also looked at the country of birth for fathers.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
For most women, the male:female ratio was 1.05, and the ratio did not change with increasing numbers of previous births.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
However, women from India and South Korea who had previous children were significantly more likely to give birth to males. For Indian-born women with more than one prior child, the male:female ratios were even more pronounced.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Previous research conducted in India and a study looking at Canadian census data for South Asian and East Asian immigrants show similar patterns of higher male:female ratios linked to increasing numbers of children, especially when the prior offspring were girls.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Whether this difference in sex ratios was the result of prenatal sex selection should be determined by direct study of practices of sex-selected preimplantation and pregnancy termination among individuals from various world regions,&amp;quot; said the researchers.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;In addition, an analysis of the duration of residence in Canada, access to fertility care, family income and parental preferences would be of value in describing factors that might influence prenatal sex selection,&amp;quot; they concluded.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The study was limited to singleton births and could not account for any sex selection in multiple pregnancies from fertility treatments. The researchers also could not determine the sex of older siblings born to the same mother.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The findings were published in CMAJ.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Previous research conducted in India and a study looking at Canadian census data for South Asian and East Asian immigrants show similar patterns of higher male:female ratios linked to increasing numbers of children, especially when the prior offspring were girls.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Whether this difference in sex ratios was the result of prenatal sex selection should be determined by direct study of practices of sex-selected preimplantation and pregnancy termination among individuals from various world regions,&amp;quot; said the researchers.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;In addition, an analysis of the duration of residence in Canada, access to fertility care, family income and parental preferences would be of value in describing factors that might influence prenatal sex selection,&amp;quot; they concluded.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The study was limited to singleton births and could not account for any sex selection in multiple pregnancies from fertility treatments. The researchers also could not determine the sex of older siblings born to the same mother.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The findings were published in CMAJ.

A new study has found that mothers born in India but living in Canada are significantly more likely to have male babies for their second and third births compared with women in Canada.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
Researchers from St. Michael&rsquo;s Hospital and the University of Toronto conducted the study.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
&quot;Our findings raise questions about why there are more male liveborns than female liveborns among Indian couples who have had two or more previous babies,&quot; said Dr. Joel Ray, St. Michael&rsquo;s Hospital and University of Toronto.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
For the study, the researchers looked at all singleton live births in Ontario &mdash; 7,66,688 births &mdash; between 2002 and 2007.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
They used the mother&rsquo;s country or region of birth to categorize each birth, with 4,86,599 from Canada, Europe (58,505), India (31,978), China (23,818), rest of East Asia (18,971), Pakistan (18,018), South Korea (3,663) and others.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
They calculated male:female live births by country or region and the number of previous deliveries the mother had at the current birth (0, 1, 2, 3 or more). They also looked at the country of birth for fathers.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
For most women, the male:female ratio was 1.05, and the ratio did not change with increasing numbers of previous births.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
However, women from India and South Korea who had previous children were significantly more likely to give birth to males. For Indian-born women with more than one prior child, the male:female ratios were even more pronounced.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
Previous research conducted in India and a study looking at Canadian census data for South Asian and East Asian immigrants show similar patterns of higher male:female ratios linked to increasing numbers of children, especially when the prior offspring were girls.
</div>

A new study has found that mothers born in India but living in Canada are significantly more likely to have male babies for their second and third births compared with women in Canada.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
Researchers from St. Michael&rsquo;s Hospital and the University of Toronto conducted the study.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
&quot;Our findings raise questions about why there are more male liveborns than female liveborns among Indian couples who have had two or more previous babies,&quot; said Dr. Joel Ray, St. Michael&rsquo;s Hospital and University of Toronto.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
For the study, the researchers looked at all singleton live births in Ontario &mdash; 7,66,688 births &mdash; between 2002 and 2007.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
They used the mother&rsquo;s country or region of birth to categorize each birth, with 4,86,599 from Canada, Europe (58,505), India (31,978), China (23,818), rest of East Asia (18,971), Pakistan (18,018), South Korea (3,663) and others.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
They calculated male:female live births by country or region and the number of previous deliveries the mother had at the current birth (0, 1, 2, 3 or more). They also looked at the country of birth for fathers.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
For most women, the male:female ratio was 1.05, and the ratio did not change with increasing numbers of previous births.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
However, women from India and South Korea who had previous children were significantly more likely to give birth to males. For Indian-born women with more than one prior child, the male:female ratios were even more pronounced.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
Previous research conducted in India and a study looking at Canadian census data for South Asian and East Asian immigrants show similar patterns of higher male:female ratios linked to increasing numbers of children, especially when the prior offspring were girls.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
&quot;Whether this difference in sex ratios was the result of prenatal sex selection should be determined by direct study of practices of sex-selected preimplantation and pregnancy termination among individuals from various world regions,&quot; said the researchers.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
&quot;In addition, an analysis of the duration of residence in Canada, access to fertility care, family income and parental preferences would be of value in describing factors that might influence prenatal sex selection,&quot; they concluded.

Indian mothers in Canada have more sons: study
