摘要
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.
