Falling sex ratios and emerging evidence of sex-selective abortion in Nepal: evidence from nationally representative survey data by Mahesh Puri, Melanie Dawn Frost, Peter Richard Andrew Hinde

“…Abortion was legalised in 2002 and prior to that, there was no evidence of sex-selective abortion. Changes in the sex ratio at birth since legalisation would suggest an association with legalisation, even though sex-selection is expressly prohibited.Design Analysis of data from four Demographic and Health Surveys, conducted in 1996, 2001, 2006 and 2011.Setting Nepal.Participants 31 842 women aged 15–49.Main outcome measure Conditional sex ratios (CSRs) were calculated, specifically the CSR for second-born children where the first-born was female. …”

Analysis of selected anthropometric parameters of 6-year-old children in Warsaw compared to the peer population in the years 1996-1999 by Elżbieta Olszewska, Piotr Tabor, Dorota Trzcińska

“…However, these symptoms were not found in the case of the analysis of selected height-weight indices. The relatively high percentages of extreme values (values below the 10th percentile and above the 90th percentile) of the analyzed parameters suggest that there are many children with a non-normative somatic build in the examined group.…”
