The team looked at birth rates among women aged 25 and older increased while decreasing for those aged 24 and younger.
"When you look at it across time, that's a 77% decline since 1991 and 65% decline since 2017. That's astonishing," Hamilton said."That's certainly good news. And it will be interesting to see when we go into next year if it continues on." The percentage of C-sections increased among all racial and ethnic groups, with the highest seen among Black women, from 36.3% to 36.8%.
