In Missouri, how do infants born to Hispanic mothers compare with those born to Anglo and African-American women?
Between 1990 and 2000, because of the increased immigration
of Hispanics into Missouri, Hispanic births increased by 2.5
fold. Changes in birth outcomes for Hispanic women were more
similar to those for Anglo women than for African-American
women in terms of infant birth weights and infant
gestational ages at birth. However, Hispanic women had
greater increases in fetal deaths than either of the other
two groups.
