Analysis shows non-significant association of sex ratio at birth with lung cancer mortality, suggesting monitoring limitations.

Lung cancer mortality risk shows a non-significant association with sex ratio at birth in women, indicating need for further study.
Relative risks across quartiles of sex ratio at birth were assessed, revealing values near 1, thus not supporting strong predictions.
Assessment conducted using standardized mortality ratios and fine particulate matter data from 66 municipalities in Taiwan.
Monitoring of sex ratio at birth may have limitations in indicating population health risks related to lung cancer.

Tsai et al. (2025) studied this question.
