Nutrition, health and mortality in sub‐Saharan Africa: Is there a gender bias?
重新分析撒哈拉以南非洲的人体测量、死亡率和人口数据,发现与早期研究相反,存在轻微且上升的反女性偏见,尤其在死亡率和人口指标中明显。
Anthropometric, mortality, and population data presented by Svedberg [1990] in this journal suggested a slight anti‐male bias in undernutrition in sub‐Saharan Africa. This article re‐analyses some of the same anthropometric, mortality, and population data and supplements them with more recent findings. In contrast to Svedberg's results, it finds evidence of a slight and rising anti‐female bias in sub‐Saharan Africa, which is particularly apparent in mortality and population indicators.
