Early Weaning Among Japanese Women in Hawaii
This study examined factors associated with early weaning among Japanese women in comparison with Caucasian women in Hawaii. A mailed survey was sent to all women who delivered an infant in Hawaii between January 1st 1989 and March 31st 1989. Only Japanese ( N =228) and Caucasian women ( N =439) were included in this study. All Japanese breast-feeding women in the study introduced formula at some point in time. Cox multivariate regression analysi…
A united states national reference for fetal growth
OBJECTIVE: To develop a current national fetal growth curve that can be used as a common reference point by researchers to facilitate investigations of the predictors and consequences of small and large for gestational age delivery. METHODS: Single live births to United States resident mothers in 1991 (n = 3,134,879) were used for the development of this curve, which was compared with four previously published fetal growth curves. Techniques were…
Pregnancy outcomes of US-born and foreign-born Japanese Americans
OBJECTIVES: This study investigated the birth outcomes of Japanese Americans, focusing on the role of the mother's place of birth. METHODS: Single live births to US-resident Japanese American mothers (n = 37,941) were selected from the 1983 through 1987 US linked live birth-infant death files. RESULTS: US-born mothers were more likely than foreign-born mothers to be less than 18 years old and not married, to start prenatal care early, and to more…
Nativity and infant feeding patterns among Filipino women in Hawaii
Infant feeding patterns of Filipinas living in Hawaii were studied based on maternal birth in the Philippines versus the United States. Data were obtained from a retrospective mailed survey of Hawaii resident women who gave birth in Hawaii January 1 to March 31, 1989, with a 51% response rate (N = 2,013). Of the 234 women who identified themselves as Filipina, 169 (72%) were born in the Philippines and 65 (24%) in the United States. Seventy perce…
The perinatal and infant health status of Native Hawaiians
Hawaii vital record data for 1979 through 1990 were analyzed to examine potentially differing relationships between maternal and infant risks and outcomes in native Hawaiian and White infants. Despite high rates of inadequate prenatal care and teenage and unmarried childbearing, the Hawaiian low-birth-weight rate was below the US average. Hawaiian infants experienced an elevated risk of mortality, particularly among those of normal birthweight du…
Pregnancy outcomes among Whites and Filipinos
Evidence from the Philippines suggests that, compared to Whites, infants born to Filipino women are more likely to be low birth weight. A paucity of information is available regarding birth outcomes of U.S.‐born Filipinos. Using 1979–1987 Hawaii vital record data on single live births to resident mothers, this study compares the maternal characteristics and pregnancy outcomes of White and Filipino mothers, Filipino mothers were significantly more…
Multiethnic variations in the pregnancy outcomes of military dependents
OBJECTIVES. We examined the pregnancy outcomes of three ethnic groups: African-American Blacks, non-Hispanic Whites, and Filipinos. In an attempt to reduce ethnic dissimilarities in parental employment and access to health care, this investigation compared the single-live-birth outcomes of married, adult women who resided in the state of Hawaii and who indicated that their spouse was on active-duty status in the US military. METHODS. The data for…
Geographic patterns of low birth weight in Hawaii
Maternal nativity status and pregnancy outcome among U.S.‐born Filipinos
Using 1979-87 Hawaii vital record data on single live births, this study compares by nativity status of the mother the maternal characteristics and pregnancy outcomes of resident Filipino women. Among ethnic minorities in the United States, the pregnancy outcomes of U.S.-born mothers have been reported to compare unfavorably to their foreign-born counterparts. In this study, unequivocally preferential pregnancy outcome indicators were not observe…
