چکیده
per birth interval were those published for the following interval (eg, 2005 estimates used for 1996e2000 births). Results From 1986 to 2000, 321 DBMD males resided in an MD STARnet site during one or more birth intervals, which produced a prevalence of 1/5000 residents. Race/ethnic-specific prevalence tended to be higher for Hispanics than non-Hispanic whites or African-Americans. Prevalence tended to be decreased for the most recent birth interval. Conclusion Our results are the first U.S. population-based report of race/ethnic-specific DBMD prevalence. Expansion of MD STARnet to two additional sites will permit computing prevalence for additional race/ethnic subgroups and birth intervals.
