The present paper offers an account of how self-reported health varies with religious
affiliation and reproductive effort among Serbian Roma women. Data were collected
in 2014–2018 in two Roma semi-urban settlements in central Serbia. The sample
consisted of 177 Christian and 127 Muslim women, averaging 54 years of age. In
addition to religious affiliation (Christianity/Islam), demographic data, reproductive
histories, data on self-reported and children’s health were collected, along with
height and weight, and smoking status. Christian and Muslim Roma women differed
significantly on a number of variables, with Muslim women reporting poorer health
and higher reproductive effort. Among Roma women religion may be an important
determinant of reproductive and fertility patterns, largely because it may have
formed an important foundation upon which identity is based. This study adds to the
literature on the cross-cultural relevance of the ways religion shapes reproductive
behavi...ors for understanding the health variations of women from the same ethnic
group who profess different religions.
