Yes higher income ppl tend to be less overweight, eat healthy food, exercise and have less life stress.

- apwell23 2y agoyes but thats not relevant because by the time you go the hosptial its already too late. Diseases we are talking about in this context have no medical solution.
- rightbyte 2y agoThey mothers probably benefit from being in the hospital up to the birth if they have a high risk sickness which I guess most people can't afford in the US.
- apwell23 2y agowell your guess is wrong
- apwell23 2y ago> They mothers probably benefit from being in the hospital up to the birth if they have a high risk sickness What does this even mean btw. They get admitted to hospital from point of conception? Where are you pulling this from.
- actionfromafar 2y agoIf you are at risk you can be admitted to a hospital in advance. Also there are protocols like inducing labour a week early to reduce risks with too large infants. Etc.
- arcticbull 2y agoDoesn’t really align with the articles I linked saying 2/3 of the deaths occur post partum and 80% are preventable. By the way, I actually looked into your thesis last time this came up. If you control for all that it really doesn’t change Americas rankings. There’s enough studies on the impact of obesity, etc, on maternal mortality that you can napkin it out. I don’t happen to have the work I did anymore I don’t think but by all means, you’re welcome to check. It has a meaningful effect but it by no means accounts for the delta. If you’re going to float something like this it would be great if you shared what led you to that conclusion, as I may have missed something. Other countries that have similar levels of obesity do not have the same outcomes, or even proportional ones.
