    In 1998, U.S. birth rates rose slightly for the first time since 1990, with increases in births to unmarried women and higher-order multiple births. Teen birth rates declined, while births to women in their twenties and thirties increased.

    Area of Science:

    • Demography
    • Public Health
    • Reproductive Health

    Background:

    • 1998 U.S. birth data analysis provides insights into maternal and infant health trends.
    • Understanding demographic shifts in childbearing is crucial for public health planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present comprehensive 1998 data on U.S. births and associated maternal and infant characteristics.
    • To analyze trends in fertility patterns, maternal behaviors, and birth outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Descriptive tabulations of data from 3.94 million U.S. birth certificates in 1998.
    • Analysis of maternal demographics, lifestyle, healthcare utilization, and infant health indicators.

    Main Results:

    • Overall birth and fertility rates increased 1% in 1998; teen birth rates decreased 2-5%.

  • Births to unmarried women increased, reaching 32.8% of all births.
  • Multiple births, particularly higher-order multiples, rose significantly, contributing to increased low birthweight and preterm births.

    • Conclusions:

    • Despite a decline in teen births, overall fertility rates show an uptick, driven by older age groups and unmarried women.
    • Increases in multiple births are a key factor in adverse birth outcomes like low birthweight and prematurity.
    • Continued improvements in prenatal care utilization are noted, alongside a rise in cesarean delivery rates.
