低出生体重（LBW），定义为婴儿体重低于2,500克(1)，是婴儿死亡率的一个主要决定因素，并导致婴儿和儿童发病率和医疗保健费用增加（2-4）。低体重的发生是由于早产（妊娠少于37周），生长迟缓，或两者兼而有之(2)。在美国，低收入少数民族高度集中的城市地区，LBW发病率较高(5)。1997年儿科营养监测结果显示，美国非洲裔婴儿的低体重率为13%，白人为8%(6)。《2010年健康人》(7)概述了消除人口不同阶层之间的健康差距，包括种族或族裔之间的差异的总体目标
Low birthweight (LBW), defined as an infant weighing less than 2,500 grams (1), is a major determinant of infant mortality and contributes to infant and childhood morbidity and increased healthcare costs (2-4). LBW occurs due to preterm delivery (length of gestation less than 37 weeks), growth retardation, or both (2). In the United States, higher rates of LBW occur in urban areas with high concentrations of low-income ethnic minorities (5). Results of the 1997 Pediatric Nutrition Surveillance indicate that the rate of LBW in the United States was 13% for African-American infants, and 8% for whites (6). Healthy People 2010 (7) outlines an overarching goal to eliminate health disparities among different segments of the population, including differences that occur by race or ethnicity
