SIDS more common among Native Americans, blacks

Fewer babies are dying suddenly and inexplicably than 20 years ago, but American Indian, Alaska Native and African-American babies remain at greater risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) than babies from other ethnic groups, a new study shows.

Researchers with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention pored over data on deaths attributed to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome between 1995 and 2013. They found that Native American and black infants are more than twice as likely to die of SIDS than white, Hispanic and Asian or Pacific Islander babies.
