“…Our results are in agreement with other published series in which fetal gastroschisis occurred mostly in young mothers [4,5] with low parity [14]. Because there seems to be an association between gastroschisis and low prepregnancy weight [15], factors such as nutritional deficits [16] theoretically could play a role in the etiology of this condition.…”

“…A further analysis to test a nutritional hypothesis suggested an association between gastroschisis and poor maternal diet, in particular, low levels of glutathione and a-carotene and high levels of nitrosamine (Torfs et al 1998). Data about nutrient intake, during the three months prior to conception, was collected using a self-report food frequency questionnaire completed within three to six months of the delivery of their infant.…”

“…24 Major maternal risk factors for gastroschisis include young age, low socioeconomic status, and Hispanic ethnicity. 18,22,[25][26][27] Minor risk factors include cigarette smoking, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and illicit drug use. 22,26,28,29 Omphalocele is a herniation of abdominal contents into the base of the umbilical cord with a protective membrane enclosing the displaced abdominal contents.…”

Background: US-born Mexican American women have greater rates of preterm birth and consequent overall infant mortality than their Mexico-born peers. However, the relation of Mexican American women’s nativity to rates of congenital anomalies is poorly understood. Hispanic ethnicity and young maternal age are well-known risk factors for gastroschisis. Objective: To determine the extent to which nativity of Mexican American women is associated with abdominal wall defects.Methods: Stratified and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed on the 2003-2004 National Center for Health Statistics linked live birth-infant death cohort. Only Mexican American infants were studied. Maternal variables examined included nativity, age, education, marital status, parity, and prenatal care usage.Results: Infants with US-born Mexican American mothers (n=451,272) had an abdominal wall defect rate of 3.9/10,000 compared with 2.0/10,000 for those with Mexico-born mothers (n=786,878), RR=1.9 (1.5-2.4). Though a greater percentage of US-born (compared wtih Mexico-born) Mexican American mothers were teens, the nativity disparity was actually widest among women in their 20s. The adjusted (controlling for maternal age, education, marital status, parity, and prenatal care) odds ratio of abdominal wall defects among infants of US-born (compared with Mexico-born) Mexican American mothers was 1.6 (1.2-2.0).Conclusions: US-born Mexican American women have nearly a two-fold greater rate of delivering an infant with an abdominal wall defect than their Mexico-born counterparts. This phenomenon is only partially explained by traditional risk factors and highlights a detrimental impact of lifelong residence in the United States, or something closely related to it, on the pregnancy outcome of Mexican American women.
