Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how stress affects preterm birth (PTB) in Black and White people, finding that Black individuals have a higher risk of PTB compared to White individuals in the US.
- Researchers wanted to see if being more resilient could help reduce this difference in risk.
- They found that even people with high resilience still showed a significant gap in PTB rates between Black and White participants, suggesting that resilience alone isn’t enough to fix this problem.
Background: Preterm birth remains a major public health issue affecting 10% of all pregnancies and increases risks of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Approximately 50% to 60% of preterm births are spontaneous, resulting from preterm premature rupture of membranes or preterm labor. The pathogenesis of spontaneous preterm birth is incompletely understood, and prediction of preterm birth remains elusive.
