Differentials of mortality, fertility and literacy rates and indicators of health and nutritional status and socioeconomic status were well correlated with variations in sex ratio at national and international level. Results of analysis of data by regions in the state were variation of order of occurrence of indicators explaining the variations in sex ratio of all the regions in Andhra Pradesh.
