<unk>  consumption during pregnancy is relatively common, and its prevalence has been on the rise. An estimated 7.6% of pregnant women use<unk> , while 1.4% of pregnant women report binge drinking during their pregnancy. The highest prevalence estimates of reported<unk>  use during pregnancy were among women who are aged 35–44 years (14.3%), white (8.3%), college graduates (10.0%), or employed (9.6%). Furthermore,<unk> -related congenital abnormalities occur at an incidence of roughly one out of 67 women who drink<unk>  during pregnancy. The use of<unk>  during pregnancy occurs at different rates across the world, potentially due to various cultural differences and legislation.

One of the biggest challenges in uncovering the true prevalence of FAS and the associated disorders is understanding how to recognize the syndrome, which largely depends on the age and physical features of the individual being diagnosed. Using medical and other records, CDC studies have identified 0.2 to 1.5 infants with FAS for every 1,000 live births in certain areas of the United States. A more recent CDC study analyzed medical and other records and found FAS in 0.3 out of 1,000 children from 7 to 9 years of age.
