The sex ratio was found lower in Andhra Pradesh with a downward trend over years. Most of the Indian states were observed with a lowered sex ratio. Kerala was the only state with sex ratio comparable to some developed countries. The sex ratio in Andhra Pradesh was same as those observed in developed countries at birth it declined with age later and was substantially lower than those observed in developed countries at all ages. 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. Rayalaseema was sex ratio with poorer grades of development than the regions of Telangana and Coastal Andhra. In Coastal Andhra and Telangana region also, some of the districts were sex ratio with poorer status of social and economic development.
