	Low birth weight paradox - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The low birth weight paradox is a certain observation relating birth weights and mortality of children born to smoking mothers.
		If one corrects for this effect by artificially moving the birth weight distribution curve for smoking mothers to match that for non-smoking mothers, then one finds that babies of a given (corrected) weight are always more likely to die if their mother smoked.
		Additional support for the hypothesis that birth weight and mortality can be acted on independently came from the analysis of birth data from Colorado: compared to the birth weight distribution in the US as a whole, the distribution curve in Colorado is also shifted to lower weights.

	Analysis of Birth Weight and Infant Mortality - Frequency Distribution of Birth Weight
		The frequency distribution of birth weight is strikingly Normal (or bell-shaped), with an extended lower tail.
		In a typical population, 2 to 5% of births are in the residual distribution.
		In order to understand birth weight as an epidemiologic endpoint, it is essential to grasp this functional independence of the two components of the birth weight distribution.

		In this second mechanism, low birth weight babies who subsequently experience better than expected conditions for postnatal growth are thought to be ill-adapted to cope with normal or excessive nutrition and, as a result, have an increased risk of metabolic and related disorders [8].
		When examining the relationship between birth weight and disease in later life, most studies have found that the correlation and (simple) regression coefficients between the two are close to zero or slightly negative [5].
		Indeed, the stronger relationship between current weight and blood pressure after adjusting for birth weight might be interpreted as either: (i) that the impact of weight is cumulative and linear; or (ii) that heavier people also have, on average, larger birth weights.

	Paradoxes - curiouser.co.uk
		Below is a list of paradoxes which you might be interest to research, some of which may be featured at curiouser.co.uk in due course.
		Low birth weight paradox: low birth weight babies have a higher mortality rate, babies of smoking mothers have lower average birth weight, babies of smoking mothers have a higher mortality rate, but low birth weight babies of smoking mothers have a lower mortality rate than other low birth weight babies.
		Nihilist paradox: if truth does not exist, the statement "truth does not exist" is a truth, thereby proving itself incorrect.

	Word Spy - Hispanic paradox
		The Hispanic Paradox states that, despite their relatively poor socioeconomic conditions, Hispanics tend to have lower rates than whites and other ethnic groups of such chronic illnesses as cancer and heart disease.
		Just what this paradox is might be best illustrated by a new study on infant mortality published a few days ago by the National Center for Health Statistics.
		For instance, the Hispanic death rate from cancer and heart disease — the two leading killers in the country — was 22% and 35% lower, respectively, than the national average.

	Epidemiological Paradox
		Such "low status" employment, under different political, social, and class perspective may actually be prestigious and may provide a comparatively high standard of living, or quality of life wages not perceived as such by the dominant capitalistic culture.
		Magana (1995) subsumes the existence of the paradox, and attempts to explain it through the realm of religiosity, and states that the lack of research on Latina subgroups may lead to explanations of Latina's health status that are too simplistic and faulty.
		High number of births, low birth weight and high infant mortality, are usually correlated with the mothers poor health or associated risk factors.

		In addition to collecting data about the mother's birthplace and ethnic group, the birth records documented maternal age, history of prenatal care, maternal use of alcohol or tobacco, maternal educational level, and common complications of pregnancy and labor.
		In contrast, although infants of foreign-born Mexican-American women closely mirror white infants in weight, the infants of U.S.-born Mexican-American women didn't fare as well, despite the fact that their mothers were more likely to have completed high school and tended to initiate prenatal care earlier.
		Madan and her colleagues speculate that, among other things, maternal birth weight, stress, attitudes toward pregnancy and family support or other biological risk factors may play a role in fetal growth.

	'Mandela's Paradox' may show that osteoporosis propensity starts in pre-teen years
		Officially known as "Birth to Twenty," the study and its 3,273 youth, are colloquially referred to as "Mandela's Children." It's the largest and longest running study of child and adolescent health and development in Africa, and one of the few large-scale longitudinal studies in the world.
		One of the main aims of the study is to follow bone health in growing children, specifically the differences in bone mass acquisition between fl and white children and the factors that influence this.
		It's obvious that intervention is becoming increasingly important during the growing years as this is the period when physical activity and nutrition have the most impact.

	Volume_2
		After examining low birth weight issues in minority populations, we expanded our exploration of disparities to those that occur in the health care arena.
		On April 7, 2005, the first annual Hopkins CHDS Minority Health Month Seminar Series was kicked off with Dr. Dolores Acevedo-Garcia and her lecture entitled “Are There Latino Health Paradoxes in Low Birth Weight?” The lecture discussed the trends of low birth weight (LBW) infants in the Latino populations.
		The unique aspect to this phenomenon is while low maternal education is considered to be a risk factor for LBW infants, Latino immigrant women do not conform to expectation of a negative education gradient in LBW.
