Contribution of county-level socioeconomic indicators to racial or ethnic differences in neonatal anthropometry in the USA: a prospective cohort study
Our findings suggest that, in a hypothetical scenario where everyone lived in counties with low deprivation or segregation, race/ethnic differences in neonatal anthropometry may substantially decrease or be eliminated. Our results also highlight the importance of considering community-level and structural factors in analyses of race/ethnic health disparities.
