Abstract

Hemoglobin levels of Asian Jewish women both while pregnant and nonpregnant were lower than in their European counterparts by about 0.23 g/100 ml to 0.3 g/100 ml. The groups had similar parity numbers but the Asian women's socioeconomic status was lower. In both the pregnant and nonpregnant, Israeli-born Asian women had higher mean hemoglobin levels than Asian immigrants but lower than Israeli-born Europeans.
