据外电(1982年)报道:美国医学协会进行的一项研究表明,在世界发达国家中美国的婴儿死亡率最高,在其他所有国家中为第16位。奥斯陆大学的挪威教授比尔克达尔(TorBjerkdal)和亚特兰大市国家疾病控制中心的埃里克森(David Erickson)共同汇编的这项研究资料表明,美国的婴儿死亡率是14.1‰而挪威是9.2‰。美国的比率高,是因为许多婴儿出生时体重很轻,特别是少数民族,非白种人母亲生的婴儿中体重少于2.5公斤的占13％,而白种人的婴儿占6.5％。在挪威只有5％的新生婴儿
According to a foreign report (1982): A study conducted by the American Medical Association shows that in the developed countries of the world, infant mortality in the United States is the highest, 16th among all other countries.

Only 5% of newborn babies in Norway
