In Black population centres in the USA, adult sex ratios (ASRs) are strongly female-biased primarily due to high male incarceration and early mortality rates. I explore the system of social determinants that shape these ASRs, and describe their apparent consequences. Evidence suggests that female-biased ASRs play a role, along with racial residential segregation, to increase mixing between core and peripheral members of sexual networks, facilitating transmission of human immunodeficiency virus and other sexually transmitted infections. Unique historical factors underlie Black male incarceration and mortality rates in the USA, making comparisons with other groups or other countries challenging.This article is part of the themed issue 'Adult sex ratios and reproductive decisions: a critical re-examination of sex differences in human and animal societies'.
在美国的黑人聚居中心,成年性别比(ASRs)呈现出强烈的女性偏向,主要原因是男性监禁率高和早期死亡率高。我探讨了塑造这些成年性别比的社会决定因素系统,并描述了它们明显的后果。有证据表明,女性偏向的成年性别比与种族居住隔离一起,在增加性网络核心成员和边缘成员之间的交往方面发挥了作用,从而促进了人类免疫缺陷病毒和其他性传播感染的传播。美国黑人男性的监禁率和死亡率有其独特的历史因素,这使得与其他群体或其他国家进行比较具有挑战性。本文是主题为“成年性别比与生殖决策:对人类和动物社会中性别差异的批判性重新审视”这一特刊的一部分。
