为了研究已婚母亲与未婚母亲在控制母亲年龄、教育水平、社会经济地位和收入等统计学因素的情况下的妊娠结局，对1978-1982年期间的93，800名第一胎单胎婴儿进行了检查。未婚母亲比已婚母亲更年轻，受教育程度更低，社会经济地位更低。未婚母亲的后代死产、新生儿和新生儿后期死亡率较高。在考虑到社会人口因素后，发现婚姻状况与新生儿后期死亡率有关。新生儿后期死亡率的调整优势比为1.5。我们的研究结果表明，即使在福利社会中，婚姻状况也是一个重要的人口危险因素。有必要查明与未婚母亲的生活方式有关的具体危险行为。希望我们的调查结果将提供可用于未来预防方案的信息，特别是针对母亲及其一岁以内的婴儿。
In order to study pregnancy outcome for married versus unmarried mothers when controlling statistically for maternal age, educational level, socioeconomic status and income, a total of 93,800 firstborn singleton births in 1978-1982 were examined. The unmarried mothers were younger, less well educated and had a lower socioeconomic status than the married mothers. The stillbirth, neonatal, and postneonatal mortality rates were higher among offspring of unmarried mothers. After taking sociodemographic factors into account, marital status was found to be associated with postneonatal mortality. The adjusted odds ratio for postneonatal mortality was 1.5.Our results indicate the importance of marital status as a demographic risk factor even in a welfare society. There is a need to identify specific risk behaviours associated with the life styles of unmarried mothers. Hopefully our findings will provide information that can be used for future programmes of prevention, especially for the mother and her child during the first year of life.
