Distress of 9/11 may have led to miscarriages, research says

This article talks about misscarages after the 9/11 attacks. Researchers just released information that suggests that due to higher levels of stress and shock in September 2001, there were a higher amount of miscarages mainly of male fetuses. This reduced the number of boys born in september and the following months. A researcher found that since the male fetus hormones are more effected by stressors than female, that explains the drop in male birth in the few months following the 9/11 attacks.

I found this article interesting because it was just released 9 years after the 9/11 attacks. I also learned that male hormones are more effected by stressors that females. i found this very interesting.
