Statistical data on narrow pelvises in white and black women
For 6,407 births in white women and 5,223 births in black women, the authors observed 3,100 cases of pelvic constriction in the Michaelis and Litzmann sense, with 577 cases referring to a funnel-shaped pelvis with a diameter between tubera ischii of 8 centimeters or less. The generalized pelvis is four times more common in Negro women. They have rickets 18.5 times more often than whites. The funnel-shaped form of pelvic constriction is equally characteristic of both.
