UCSF Study Finds Latina Women Have Greater Risk Of Premature Birth With Short Interpregnancy Interval

e as likely as white women to have an extremely short interval.
  • Both Latina and white women in the short interval classifications were younger, less educated, and had less prenatal care than their counterparts who had intermediate interpregnancy intervals.
  • There was no association between short intervals and premature birth among white women.

    "As medical researchers looking at this subject, we need to conduct additional studies to determine the effects of behavior and/or biology on the outcomes and how we can turn them around," said Fuentes-Afflick. "We think it may be more behavioral and if so, the good news is that behavior can be changed." Study co-investigator was Nancy Hessol, MSPH, an epidemiologist in the UCSF Department of Medicine.

    The research was supported by a grant from UC Mexus, a University of California research unit that focuses on U.S.-Mexico issues and people of Mexican descent.
