Muslim kids were most at risk from 2009 Swine flu pandemic

A study published by the Lancet shows that Muslim kids from Bangladeshi and Pakistani backgrounds were most at risk from the 2009 swine flu outbreak.

Th study seems to leave unexplained why these Muslim kids along with those that had a underlying health problems were most at risk and LM wonders if one possible reason could be due to the high proportion of children whose parents were part of first cousin marriages.
