Birth risks differ for Asian-Caucasian couples

   Posted by: R Haasch   in Risk Factors, Studies

New research indicates that the rates of cesarean deliveries, gestational diabetes, and other pregnancy-related outcomes differ among Asian, Caucasian, and interracial Asian-Caucasian couples.

“Our study demonstrates that interracial Asian-Caucasian couples represent a population with distinct perinatal risks, with differing risks depending upon which parent is of Asian race,” the researchers state in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
