2021, International Journal of Pediatric OtorhinolaryngologyCitation Excerpt :The higher incidence of females tends to go against the belief that boys suffer higher FB injuries due to them being involved in a higher number of injuries in general in comparison to girls, for example, as a result of boys taking more risks and being more impulsive [26]. It may reflect cultural aspects, for example, parental control being more greatly imposed on males, whereas the reverse has been reported [27]. However, it may relate to gender within a cultural context.
