虽然种族的生物真实性仍然是一个有争议的问题，但种族的社会意义是无可争议的。种族主义的长期压力及其造成的社会不平等可能是健康方面持续存在种族差异的根本社会决定因素，包括婴儿死亡率、早产和出生体重不足。本文介绍了不利的出生结果的种族差异的问题，概述了种族主义的多维性和途径，它可能会对健康产生不利影响，并讨论了临床实践的影响。
While the biologic authenticity of race remains a contentious issue, the social significance of race is indisputable. The chronic stress of racism and the social inequality it engenders may be underlying social determinants of persistent racial disparities in health, including infant mortality, preterm delivery, and low birth weight. This article describes the problem of racial disparities in adverse birth outcomes; outlines the multidimensional nature of racism and the pathways by which it may adversely affect health; and discusses the implications for clinical practice.
