title: [Sex differences in sudden infant death].
abstract: In a group of 79 infants who died suddenly 65.8% were boys and 34.2% girls and in a control group of 56 infants who died from disease or injuries 53.6% were boys and 46.4% girls. The authors discuss the possibility that sudden infant deaths are one of the biological mechanisms which balance the predominance of births of male infants.
