Ethnic differences in hemoglobin distribution of Asian and European Jewish women in Israel, both pregnant and nonpregnant.
Hemoglobin levels of Asian Jewish women both while pregnant and nonpregnant were lower than in their European counterparts by about 0.23 g/100 ml to 0.3 g/100 ml. The groups had similar parity numbers but the Asian women's socioeconomic status was lower. In both the pregnant and nonpregnant, Israeli-born Asian women had higher mean hemoglobin levels than Asian immigrants but lower than Israeli-born Europeans.
