Abstract:
Between the years 1987-88 and 1995-96, considerable progress was made toward the reduction of birthweight-specific infant mortality. Expanded child and maternal care were contributing factors to the decline. However, other factors, including smoking mothers and minority race, continue to be strong predictors of low birthweight. These factors still need to be addressed.

Abstract:
In North Carolina and across the United States, birth rates have steadily fallen over the past several decades. In recent years, however, both the birth rate and the induced abortion rate of older women have risen, and first-time births among women of ages thirty and older have risen sharply. Problems that may be associated with delayed and limited childbearing are examined and discussed in this report.
