Abstract
In the intermountain area of the USA (Utah, Wyoming, Idaho and Montana) there is an effect of social class on the incidence of myelomeningocele; the higher social class has the lower incidence. There is an influence from the social class where the mother is raised and into which she marries. Birth order and maternal age have no influence on the incidence of myelomeningocele.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
