About 1 in 90 human births (1.1%) results from a twin pregnancy. [54] The rate of dizygotic twinning varies greatly among ethnic groups, ranging as high as about 45 per 1000 births (4.5%) for the Yoruba to 10% for Linha São Pedro, a tiny Brazilian settlement which belongs to the city of Cândido Godói.

2024年11月26日 · The Human Multiple Births Database (HMBD) gathers the number of twin births and the twinning rates for countries with reliable statistics. The database also provides statistics on other multiple births (i.e., triplets, quadruplets, etc.) whenever possible.

2025年1月24日 · Although less common than pregnancy with one baby, multiple births are a natural part of human reproduction. About one in every 60 pregnancies is a multiple birth ... Pre-term birth happens in around 60 percent of twins and nearly all triplets, quads or more. These infants often need neonatal care – leading to increased anxiety for parents.

How many twins are born in human populations and how has this changed over recent decades? Since the 1980s, the global twinning rate has increased by a third, from 9.1 to 12.0 twin deliveries per 1000 deliveries, to about 1.6 million twin pairs each ...

Multiples make up only about 3 in 100 births, but the multiple birth rate is rising. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, the twin birth rate has risen 70% since 1980. It is now 32.6 per 1,000 live births. The birth rate for triplets and other higher-order multiples rose dramatically. But it has slowed since 1998.

The Human Multiple Births Database (HMBD) provides the number and rate of twin deliveries for different countries. Statistics on other multiple births (i.e., triplets, quadruplets, etc.) are also provided whenever possible.

2005年7月1日 · Dr. Harvey Kliman is a reproductive biologist from Yale University who will discuss some theories about why some identical twins are copies of each other and why some seem to be mirror-opposites. We'll also meet a pair of twins, Tamara and Adriana who were separated at birth but found each other by accident when they were in college.
