... The global distribution of the 141 studies and their cohort sizes is shown in Figure 2, panel B. After adjustment of the female numbers to take into account the unequal sex ratio in the general population, there were 78 442 males and 85 732 females [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][11][12][13][18][19][20][21][128][129][130][131][132][133][134][135][136]138,139,. Among the clinic-based studies, 40 studies detailed gender information for esotropia (4983 males and 5526 females, adjusted for the sex ratio) [4,12,13,20,99,101,119,122,132,133,136,139,143,144,146,150,154,160,163,164,167,174,176,180,187,198,200,209,211,213,[219][220][221]229], and 51 studies detailed gender information for exotropia (4056 males and 5122 females, adjusted for the sex ratio) [1,4,6,8,9,12,13,[19][20][21]99,[104][105][106][107]111,112,115,117,119,122,128,132,133,136,139,143,144,150,154,160,[162][163][164]174,176,180,184,194,198,200,201,209,211,213,[217][218][219][220][221]229].
