This makes it the highest in high-income nations. <\/p>\n<p>Comparatively, the maternal death rate in the United Kingdom is lower than that of the U.S. (assuming rates remain constant in 2021). Norway has the lowest maternal mortality rate with 1.7 deaths per 100,000 live births. <\/p>\n<p>According to the outlet, these factors include cardiovascular problems, healthcare disparities as well as the COVID-19 epidemic and medical shortages. <\/p>\n<p>According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data, obesity is the main factor that distinguishes the U.S. The agency cited a study showing an increase in the number of pregnant women with chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, or chronic heart disease. Pregnancy-related deaths are most often due to heart disease. <\/p>\n<p>Racial disparities exist in maternal mortality. Black mothers are 2.5 times more likely to die soon after giving birth than their white counterparts. Also, black women are more likely to be obese. According to the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health from 2015-2018, black women are 2.3 times more likely that non-Hispanic White women to be overweight and 50% more likely than to be obese. Nearly 4\/5 black women in America are overweight or obese. <\/p>\n<p><b>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE ABOUT THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/b> <\/p>\n<p>Others believe racism or a lack access to quality medical care are the main causes of the imbalance. <\/p>\n<p>The CDC stated that more than 80% pregnancy-related deaths in America can be avoided and that it is important to start working on heart health long before the baby arrives.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>&#8220;Read More from&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/healthcare\/maternal-deaths-rose-highest-years\">2021 US: The highest number of maternal deaths in 60 years<\/a>&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11px\"><em>&#8220;The views and opinions expressed here are solely those of the author of the article and not necessarily shared or endorsed by Conservative News Daily&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maternal deaths in the United States in 2021 reached their highest since 1965.
