In the U.S. Black, American Indian, and Alaska Native (AI/AN) women are two to three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women – and this disparity increases with age, researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR).

The maternal death rate for black women was more than double that of white women: 37.1 deaths per 100,000 live births compared to 14.7. It was also more than three times the rate for Hispanic women.

Hispanic women are significantly more likely to have a baby with a neural tube birth defect, and nearly a quarter of all preterm births in the United States are Hispanic, according to a report from the March of Dimes.

The bottom line is that most pregnancy-related deaths are preventable, and racial and ethnic disparities in pregnancy-related deaths have persisted over time.
