What gender is most likely to get appendicitis?

What gender is likely going to get a appendicitis, a boy or a girl? I do not really know and please tell me what gender is most likely going to get it.

Age: Appendicitis can occur in all age groups but it is more common between the ages of 11 and 20.

Gender: A male preponderance exists, with a male to female ratio (1.4: 1) and the overall lifetime risk is 8.6% for males and 6.7% for females. A male child suffering from cystic fibrosis is at a higher risk for developing appendicitis.

Diet: People whose diet is low in fiber and rich in refined carbohydrates have an increased risk of getting appendicitis.

Hereditary: A particular position of the appendix, which predisposes it to infection, runs in certain families. Having a family history of appendicitis may increase a child's risk for the illness.

Seasonal variation: Most cases of appendicitis occur in the winter months - between the months of October and May.

Infections: Gastrointestinal infections such as Amebiasis, Bacterial Gastroenteritis, Mumps, Coxsackievirus B and Adenovirus can predispose an individual to Appendicitis.
