I’d say it’s probably black mothers and babies. They have always had a high mortality rate, partly because of poor nutrition

We have a winner! Pre-eclampsia (sudden ) is the #1 mortality risk factor to women during childbirth. And pre-eclampsia rates are directly proportional to obesity. Black women are 16 TIMES more likely to be obese than white women of the same age. Blacks have 10x the rate of diabetes as whites as well.
