- W2186983091 abstract "OBJECTIVE To examine the rate of spontaneous twinning in selected countries in order to evaluate the impact of environmental stress and related socioeconomic factors on balancing reproductive activity and longevity. STUDY DESIGN Four countries with similar ancestry were considered, 2 in Africa and 2 in the Caribbean. Data on gross domestic product per capita, as a measure of indigenous conditions, access to proper diet, health care, sanitation and shelter were compared with the relative rate of twinning. RESULTS The data show an inverse relationship between wealth and environmental conditions, and the incidence of multiple gestations. CONCLUSION Through goods and services, improved living conditions reduce environmental stress and its adverse effect on the balance of biologic reproduction vs. longevity. In addition, breast-feeding, as a social expression and an economic easement, correlates with the chance of conceiving twins in a subsequent pregnancy. It would thus appear that the twinning rate can be taken as a barometer of the population's biologic attempt to perpetuate its gene pool expeditiously when an existential threat occurs." @default.
