    Spina Bifida in the Latino Population
    (2010-11-02) Lewallen, Laura
    Maternal risk factors as well as demographic variables are involved in the development of neural tube defects. Acculturation factors such as being foreign-born or having recently immigrated to the US increase the risk for neural tube defects. Therefore, those modifiable risk factors, such as adequate control of maternal diabetes and weight during pregnancy, are especially important for the Latino population.
