Abstract

Objective: Previous reports suggest that maternal exposure to acute stress related to earthquakes affects the sex ratio at birth. Our aim was to examine the change in sex ratio at birth after Eastern Marmara earthquake disasters. Material and Methods: This study was performed using the official birth statistics from January 1997 to December 2002before and after 17 August 1999, the date of the Golcuk Earthquakesupplied from the Turkey Statistics Institute. The secondary sex ratio was expressed as the male proportion at birth, and the ratio of both affected and unaffected areas were calculated and compared on a monthly basis using data from gender with using the Chi-square test. Results: We observed significant decreases in the secondary sex ratio in the 4th and 8th months following an earthquake in the affected region compared to the unaffected region (p= 0.001 and p= 0.024). In the earthquake region, the decrease observed in the secondary sex ratio during the 8th month after an earthquake was specific to the period after the earthquake. Conclusion: Our study indicated a significant reduction in the sec- ondary sex ratio after an earthquake. With these findings, events that cause sudden intense stress such as earthquakes can have an effect on the sex ratio at birth. (J Turkish-German Gynecol Assoc 2013; 14: 92-7)

Özet

Amaç: Önceki çalışmalarda, depremler ile ilişkili maternal akut stres maruziyetinin doğumda cinsiyet oranına etkisi bildirilmişti. Bu çalış mada amacımız Doğu Marmara deprem felaketlerinden sonra doğumda cinsiyet oranındaki değişimi incelemekti. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışma Türkiye İstatistik Kurumundan (TUİK) sağlanan Ocak 1997 ve Aralık 2002 yılları arasında, -17 Ağustos 1999 Gölcük depreminden önce ve sonra- resmi doğum istatistiklerkullanılarak gerçekleştirildi. Sekonder cinsiyet oranı, doğumda erkek oranı olarak ifade edildi ve sekonder cinsiyet oranı, etkilenmiş ile etkilenmemiş bölgelerin ikisinde de cinsiyet verileri ve ki-kare testi kullanılarak aylık bazda hesaplandı ve karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Biz Gölcük depreminden sonraki 4. ve 8. aylarda etkilenmiş bölgede, etkilenmemiş bölge ile karşılaştırıldığında, sekonder cinsiyet oranında anlamlı azalma olduğunu gözledik (sırası ile p= 0.001 ve p= 0.024). Deprem bölgesinde, depremden sonraki 8. ayda sekonder cinsiyet oranında gözlenen azalma deprem sonrasına özgü idi. Sonuç: Çalışmamız deprem sonrası sekonder cinsiyet oranında anlamlı azalma olduğunu gösterdi. Bu bulgular ile deprem gibi ani yoğun strese neden olan olayların doğumda cinsiyet oranı üzerine etkili olduğu göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır. (J Turkish-German Gynecol Assoc 2013; 14: 92-7)
