Pregnancy among the Hmong: Birthweight, Age, and Parity.

Helsel, Deborah; And Others

American Journal of Public Health, v82 n10 p1361-64 Oct 1992

Reproductive factors for Hmong immigrants (mothers of 1,937 children) were compared with those of 3,776 white, non-Hispanic women. Despite a high proportion of births at high parity and advanced maternal age, Hmong women gave birth to very low birth weight babies at about the same rate as white women. (SLD)
