> It seems to be due to lack of access/income and race if I recall correctly. For the highest income quintile it’s roughly in line with the OECD.
Yes higher income ppl tend to be less overweight, eat healthy food, exercise and have less life stress.

By the way, I actually looked into your thesis last time this came up. If you control for all that it really doesn’t change Americas rankings. There’s enough studies on the impact of obesity, etc, on maternal mortality that you can napkin it out. I don’t happen to have the work I did anymore I don’t think but by all means, you’re welcome to check. It has a meaningful effect but it by no means accounts for the delta.
If you’re going to float something like this it would be great if you shared what led you to that conclusion, as I may have missed something. Other countries that have similar levels of obesity do not have the same outcomes, or even proportional ones.
ok i'll add "trust me bro i looked at the data" like you.
What does this even mean btw. They get admitted to hospital from point of conception? Where are you pulling this from.
