We investigate whether there is excess morbidity among daughters of Indian or Chinese immigrants in the US by studying the prevalence of disability among children. We use data from the 2012-14 American Community Surveys on approximately 20,000 US-born children of Indian and Chinese immigrants. Children of US natives are used as a comparison group to account for innate differences in disability between the sexes. Results indicate that there is excess disability among daughters compared with sons among children of Chinese immigrants and children of immigrants from northern or western Indian states; this excess disability declines with younger age at arrival or longer exposure to the host country. Analysis using children of Filipino immigrants as an alternative comparison group yields similar excess disability rates for females.

我们通过研究儿童残疾患病率，调查在美国的印度或中国移民的女儿中是否存在过高的发病率。我们使用了2012 - 14年美国社区调查中约20000名美国出生的印度和中国移民子女的数据。美国本土儿童作为对照组，以考虑性别之间残疾的先天差异。结果表明，与中国移民子女以及来自印度北部或西部邦的移民子女中的儿子相比，女儿的残疾率更高；这种过高的残疾率随着抵达时年龄较小或在东道国居住时间较长而下降。使用菲律宾移民子女作为替代对照组进行的分析得出了类似的女性过高残疾率。本文的补充材料可在以下网址获取：https://doi.org/10.1080/00324728.2020.1762911 。
