The incidence of congenital anomalies at birth and accumulated to age 5 yr is presented for live-born children in a large prospective study. Congenital anomalies are not all diagnosable at birth; the incidence rate increases .apprx. 3 1/2-fold for Blacks and 5-fold for Whites between 6 days of age and 5 yr of age. The incidence of congenital anomalies at birth was higher among Black children than White children, but there were no notable differences between the groups in incidence accumulated to age 5 yr. At 5 yr, the incidence rate of severe and moderate (but not trivial) congenital anomalies amounted to 15%; for severe congenital anomalies, 4%. Severe congenital anomalies diagnosed through age 5 yr were observed to have a much higher incidence among children who weighed 2500 gm or less at birth than among those who were heavier.
