New research led by Dr Ursula Gazeley reveals the hidden toll of violent deaths during pregnancy and postpartum in Mexico. Including suicides & homicides would have raised Mexico’s 2024 maternal mortality ratio by ~31%. www.demography.ox.ac.uk/news/reveali...

🌡️ New research published in @pnas.org finds that high temperatures may influence the sex ratio at birth. Analysing 5+ million births, researchers show that exposure to temps above 20°C during pregnancy is linked to fewer boys being born 📊👶 🔗 www.sociology.ox.ac.uk/article/new-...
Quote from Jasmin Abdel Ghany: "Extreme heat is not only a major public health threat. Temperature fundamentally shapes human reproduction by influencing who is born and who is not born.

Our findings show that temperature has measurable consequences for foetal survival and family planning behaviour, with implications for population composition and gender balance.

Understanding these processes is essential for anticipating how the environment affects societies in a warming climate."

#LifeExpectancy rose rapidly in the first half of the 20th century. But will those born between 1939 and 2000 benefit from these rapid gains in #longevity? A recent study suggests that none of these #generations will reach 100 years of age on average. 1/2 www.demogr.mpg.de/go/LifeExpectancy2025
