Stress results in stronger boys

Stress results in stronger boys:

"Populations of boys born in stressful times enjoy an advantage their whole lives, living longer, on average, than males born in times of peace and prosperity, US researchers reported on Monday."

Ralph Catalano of the School of Public Health at the University of California had led what appears to be a very interesting study if you read the rest of the article. Boys are more likely to be miscarried than girls and even though more boys than girls are born, more boys die. There are a lot of fascinating findings in this study. I hope we read more about it.
