| Resumen |
Investigation based on the review of birth records in a major hospital in Imperial Country, California, USA. Of all singleton births occurring within a 4-year period (2,463 births), 40.2% involved children at least one of whose parents were agricultural workers. The progeny of agricultural and non-agricultural workers were similar with regard to sex ratios, prevalence of low birth-weight infants, stillbirth rate, minor and major malformation rates and prevalence of neonatal deaths. Limb reduction defects, however, occurred more frequently among children of agricultural workers (rate ratio=2.3). The rate was 3 to 14 times higher when compared to the US rate. These findings suggest that agricultural workers in the USA may be at excess risk of producing a child with a limb reduction defect. |
