研究了将生物和行为因素与美国婴儿死亡率和生育率联系起来的力量。 Estimates can be arrived at if all of the important types of behavior affecting infant survival prices and income constraints facing households are diligently gathered.使用方程来确定家庭健康禀赋指数与儿童关于最佳产前和产后行为的健康信息之间的关系，可以进行估计和观察。这种估计是父母和环境健康相关因素的重要因素，试图描述父母行为对出生体重妊娠和胎儿生长速度的生物学影响。提出的另一项估计建立了出生顺序对婴儿死亡率的生物学影响之间的联系。在这项分析中，包括怀孕期间的医疗保健、母亲吸烟率、母亲年龄、母乳喂养持续时间、种族和孩子性别等因素。还估算了家庭社会经济和健康数据，以了解州和县为产前和产后孕产妇护理提供充足卫生设施的能力。特别是结果表明，发达国家的儿童死亡率下降，母亲在怀孕早期当预期有风险时寻求产前医疗护理。有必要进一步研究黑人和白人在就医方面的生育行为差异模式。
Forces which link biological and behavioral factors to infant mortality and fertility in the United States are examined. Estimates can be arrived at if all of the important types of behavior affecting infant survival prices and income constraints facing households are diligently gathered. Using equations to determine the relationship between a family health endowment index in conjunction with a childs health information about optimal prenatal and postnatal behavior can be estimated and observed. This estimate which is strongly a factor of parental and environmental health related factors attempts to characterize the biological effects of parents behavior on birthweight gestation and the rate of fetal growth. Another estimate presented is one which establishes a link between biological effects of birth order on infant mortality. In this analysis factors such as medical care during pregnancy mothers rate of smoking mothers age duration of breastfeeding mothers race and childs sex were included. Household socioeconomic and health data were also estimated in order to understand state and county ability to provide adequate health facilities for pre and postnatal maternal care. In particular results suggest that child mortality declines in developed countries and that mothers seek prenatal medical care in early stages of their pregnancy when risk is anticipated. Further study of the differential pattern of black and white fertility behavior in regard to seeking medical care is warranted.
