Figure 1 Sex ratios by age group, year, and regions

Figure 2 Overview of the global relation between sex ratios and total mortality levels Sex ratios are plotted against decreasing total mortality (grey dots) and the estimated global relation between expected sex ratios and total mortality for the infant mortality rate (A) and child mortality rate (B) are shown in purple. Shaded areas are 90% uncertainty intervals. For under-5 mortality (C), the purple line shows the relation between sex ratios and total mortality based on the relations for IMR and CMR for all included country-years.

Figure 3 Overview of excess female mortality (A–C) and the ratio of estimated-to-expected female mortality (D–F) for countries with outlying sex ratios and higher-than-expected female mortality in 1990 or 2012 Countries are ordered by decreasing point estimates for the year Error bars are 90% uncertainty intervals. IMR=infant mortality rate. CMR=child mortality rate. U5MR=under-5 mortality rate. The Lancet Global Health 2014 2, e521-e530DOI: ( /S X(14) ) Copyright © 2014 Alkema et al.
