Mage David T, Donner Maria

Abstract excerpt

There is currently no accepted explanation in the medical literature for the lower female total mortality rate in infancy, childhood and adulthood. We review the pediatric mortality data provided by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) and show that for causes of respiratory infant death that are apparently independent of gender (e.g., suffocation from...
