Possible reasons for the excess risk of perinatal mortality experienced by Asian women living in Leicestershire who work during pregnancy were investigated. This entailed a detailed examination of the work undertaken locally by a group of pregnant Asian women and comparison with the work undertaken by an occupationally matched group of pregnant non-Asian women. A total of 306 pregnant women were interviewed. The results suggest that the two ethnic groups experienced similar working conditions, and most of the women continued working until the 29th week of pregnancy. The Asian women worked significantly longer hours on average than the non-Asian group, and were more likely to report financial dependence by the family upon their earnings.
对居住在莱斯特郡、孕期仍工作的亚洲女性围产期死亡风险过高的可能原因进行了调查。这需要详细检查一组当地怀孕亚洲女性所从事的工作,并与一组职业匹配的怀孕非亚洲女性所从事的工作进行比较。总共采访了306名孕妇。结果表明,这两个种族群体经历了相似的工作条件,并且大多数女性一直工作到怀孕第29周。亚洲女性平均工作时间明显长于非亚洲群体,并且更有可能报告家庭在经济上依赖她们的收入。
