Research published today in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology Canada found that the skewed ratio of male to female babies born to Indian-born women does not change the longer the women live in Canada, as the researchers would have expected it to. Pictured here is Dr. Marcelo Urquia, a research scientist and assistant professor at the University of Manitoba's Centre for Health Policy and affiliate Scientist at the Centre for Urban Health Solutions of St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto.
