The Oxford University site on SIDS: Risk Factors: Note: Most babies with all the risk factors LIVE and babies with no risk factors do die of SIDS. In most cases a risk factor increases the odds from 2/1000 to 2/998. Also, there is _no_ "non-risk" factor which anyone can point to and say "no SIDS babies did/had this". The major risk factors are: 1. Maternal Smoking 2. Poor prenatal care 3. Low birth weight 4. Hard drug use 5. Young maternal age. Oddly the majority of the deaths occur during winter months, males more commonly the victim, and the second child is more susceptible than the first. The average age of a SIDS victim is about four months. Maternal smoking, a major factor in indoor air pollution, is listed first. But hey, if the LA Times environmental writer thinks smog is making those SIDS babies keel over, who would I be to doubt?
