This graph demonstrates that SIDS does not have any medical cause.

Excerpted from § below:

This graph, developed originally by Peter Mitchell, is arguably the most important piece of epidemiology relating to the cause of cot death [crib death, SIDS]. The range of cot death [crib death, SIDS] risk from the lowest group (first babies of wealthy parents) to the highest group (babies of unmarried mothers) is 1:22.

This data is part of the overwhelming proof there is only one cause of cot death [crib death, SIDS] and destroys any argument that cot death [crib death, SIDS] has a medical cause.

It demonstrates that the more times a mattress is used from one baby to the next, the greater is the risk of cot death [crib death, SIDS].

This accounts for the higher cot death [crib death, SIDS] rates in less well-off families, who are more likely to use second-hand mattresses. If a mattress contains the dangerous elements, and the fungus has become established in the mattress during prior use, the output of toxic gas commences sooner and is greater in volume.
