Ten-year changes in birthweight distributions of black and white infants, South Carolina.

R M Mayberry1, R F Lewis.   

Abstract

The birthweight distributions of Black and White infants in South Carolina were compared for the paired-year periods 1975-76 and 1985-86. No discernible changes in birthweight distributions between the two time periods were observed especially among Black infants. The distributions among White infants reflected an overall improvement in birthweight most noticeably above 2500g.
