          Abstract

          Fundamento: La asociación de la inmigración con el bajo peso al nacimiento (BP) y el parto pretérmino (PP) es un importante indicador de inequidades en salud. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar las diferencias entre BP y el PP según la nacionalidad de la madre. Métodos: Los datos proceden del Boletín Estadístico de Nacimientos. Durante el período de estudio hubo 1.878.718 recién nacidos. La nacionalidad fue considerada como variable de exposición (española-inmigrante). Las variables de efecto son BP (nacimientos de 37 o más semanas de gestación con un peso inferior a 2.500 gramos) y PP (recién nacidos con menos de 37 semanas de gestación). Se calcularon odds ratios simples y ajustadas por posibles variables de confusión mediante regresión logística. Resultados: La prevalencia de BP y PP entre las mujeres españolas fue de 7,9% y 3,2% respectivamente, mientras que en las extranjeras fue de 7,3% y 2,4% respectivamente. En comparación con las españolas, el riesgo más bajo de PP lo presentaron las mujeres procedentes de África del Norte (ORa= 0,77 IC95%0,74-0,80). Con respecto al BP el riesgo más bajo se observó en madres de Sudamérica (ORa=0,62 IC95%0,59-0,65) y Europa del Este (ORa=0,65 IC95%0,60-0,71). Conclusión: Los recién nacidos de madre extranjera presentan menos riesgo de BP y PP que los autóctonos, posiblemente como consecuencia del sesgo por la condición de ser inmigrante sano y por la menor frecuencia de prácticas de riesgo durante la gestación de las mujeres inmigrantes.

          Background: Association between immigration and low birth weight (LBW) and preterm birth (PB) is an important indicator of health inequalities. The objective of this study is to analyse the differences between LBW and PB according to the mother’s nationality in newborns in Spain. Methods: Data were provided from the National Statistical Bulletin of Birth of 1,878,718 newborns in the period 2001-2005. The nationality was considered the exposure variable (Spanish- Immigrant). The outcomes were LBW (< 2,500 gr and > =37 gestational weeks) and PB (< 37 gestational weeks). Odds ratios were calculated and adjusted by possible confounders by logistic regression. Results: PB and LBW prevalence were higher in Spanish women (7.9% and 3.2% respectively). In comparison with Spanish ones, the lowest risk of PB was observed in North Africa (ORa= 0.77 CI95% 0.74-0.80). With respect to LBW, the lowest risk was found in mothers from South America (ORa=0.62 CI95% 0.59-0.65) and Eastern Europe (ORa=0.65 CI95% 0.60-0.71). Conclusion: Results of LBW and PB were more favourable in the births of immigrant women. It could be associated with the healthy migrant effect and a low frequency of risk practices during gestation.

          Fetal origins of coronary heart disease.

          The fetal origins hypothesis states that fetal undernutrition in middle to late gestation, which leads to disproportionate fetal growth, programmes later coronary heart disease. Animal studies have shown that undernutrition before birth programmes persisting changes in a range of metabolic, physiological, and structural parameters. Studies in humans have shown that men and women whose birth weights were at the lower end of the normal range, who were thin or short at birth, or who were small in relation to placental size have increased rates of coronary heart disease. We are beginning to understand something of the mechanisms underlying these associations. The programming of blood pressure, insulin responses to glucose, cholesterol metabolism, blood coagulation, and hormonal settings are all areas of active research.
