Infant Health & Mortality - The Office of Minority Health
- African Americans have 2.2 times the infant mortality rate as non-Hispanic whites.
- African American infants are 3.2 times as likely to die from complications related to low birthweight as compared to non-Hispanic white infants.
- African Americans had over twice the sudden infant death syndrome mortality rate as non-Hispanic whites, in 2014.
- In 2014, African American mothers were 2.2 times more likely than non-Hispanic white mothers to receive late or no prenatal care
It is preventable, but so are all consequences of poor life-style choices.It’s unacceptable & it’s preventable.

Why?
I know they tend to have high blood pressure, which can be fatal during pregnancy, but why else? Poor health care? Is it worse than anyone else's?

They suffer from twice the rate of diabetes and I would imagine that also plays a factor-Why?

Um . . . . and?
Perhaps, but that certainly does not invalidate that lifestyle choices lead to the same consequences and that black women make poorer lifestyle choices in general than their demographic counterparts.It is preventable, but so are all consequences of poor life-style choices.It’s unacceptable & it’s preventable.

It isn't necessarily due to poor lifestyle choices. The infant mortality rate among black mothers with college educations and good jobs is still higher than that among white mothers who dropped out of high school.
Well what do you think it is? Racism in utero?It is preventable, but so are all consequences of poor life-style choices.It’s unacceptable & it’s preventable.

African Americans are almost twice as likely to be diagnosed with diabetes as non-Hispanic whites. In addition, they are more likely to suffer complications from diabetes, such as end-stage renal disease and lower extremity amputations.

Yes they do...e.g. 72% illegitimacy rate.Perhaps, but that certainly does not invalidate that lifestyle choices lead to the same consequences and that black women make poorer lifestyle choices in general than their demographic counterparts.It is preventable, but so are all consequences of poor life-style choices.It’s unacceptable & it’s preventable.

We do know. It's called genetics.They suffer from twice the rate of diabetes and I would imagine that also plays a factor-Why?

True. Problem is, aside from obvious factors like obesity - which plague just about every race and ethnicity with diabetes - we're still not entirely sure why blacks in general seem to have worse health overall than other groups.

Although, since I am a nice person...probably for the same reason they (black community) have higher illegitimacy rates, higher drug and alcohol abuse, higher crime rates, lower grad rates, higher incarceration rates, lower median income, higher abuse rates...IDK...Poor life choices?

Honesty is the nicest quality a person can have.First, "nice people" don't lead off with calling total strangers douches for no reason. I
Now I have proof you're a douche.Second, if I have "failed to take note of" an OP other than your post, that usually means I can't see it, because I have the person on ignore. Possibly before assuming OTHER people are stupid, you should try making certain YOU aren't being so.
How in the hell would you know what life choices individuals make? Obviously if their mortality rates are high and they are educated then they are probably making bad choices. What else is causing children to abort, in utero racism?And third, as I mentioned to someone else, the higher infant mortality rate among blacks remains even when the mother has not been making those "poor life choices".
You are what I like to call...shitlib dense. Are you comfy in your fantasy land precious?Black people in general seem to form the low end of the "good health" scale all across the board, and none of the obvious reasons provides sufficient explanation. It's a source of confusion and frustration to the medical community.
