That's at birth. I would suspect male mortality is higher along the way.

On a side note, and I cant figure out the evolutionary basis for it.. but fitter men have a tendency to produce more daughters. Sperm samples of high stamina males, such triathletes, surf iron men, etc, have observed a massive skewing towards producing lesser amounts of Y chromosones, thus more daughters.

According to Sperm Wars "alpha males" produce more sons. 60% of the children of US presidents, vice presidents and CEO's were male or something. Of course they doesn't mean that physically fitter men don't produce more daughters.
