We investigated whether the "healthy migrant" effect is applicable to an internally mobile U.S.-born population, that is, whether infants born to women that moved within the United States had better birth outcomes compared to those infants whose mothers did not move.
This study used 1995-2001 National Center for Health Statistics live birth/infant death cohort files of singleton infants born in the U.S. to non-Hispanic Black women.
Infants born to women who moved had significantly lower risks of low birth weight, preterm birth, and SGA compared to the non-mobile group.
There is evidence to support the healthy migrant effect in an internally migrant Black population. The findings of this study suggest infants of non-Hispanic Black mothers who were born in one state and moved prior to delivery had more positive birth outcomes when compared to those infants of women who did not move prior to delivery.
我们调查了“健康移民”效应是否适用于在美国境内流动的美国本土出生人群,即与母亲未迁移的婴儿相比,在美国境内迁移的女性所生婴儿的出生结局是否更好。
本研究使用了1995 - 2001年美国国家卫生统计中心的单胎活产/婴儿死亡队列文件,这些文件来自于在美国出生的非西班牙裔黑人女性。
与未迁移组相比,迁移女性所生婴儿的低出生体重、早产和小于胎龄儿风险显著更低。
有证据支持在国内迁移的黑人人群中存在健康移民效应。本研究结果表明,与分娩前未迁移的女性所生婴儿相比,在一个州出生且在分娩前迁移的非西班牙裔黑人母亲所生婴儿的出生结局更积极。
