A retrospective survey on a representative sample of births in France in 1972 relating to more than 11000 women showed the amount of perinatal pathology among immigrants as compared with French women: a higher rate of foetal or neonatal distress, a three to four times higher stillbirth rate among Portuguese and North African women, a prematurity rate more than twice as higher among North African women. When differences in parity and socio-cultural level between immigrant and French women were allowed for, there remained a higher rate of perinatal pathology among immigrants. Prenatal care was also more often inadequate among immigrants, even when taking into account their low socio-cultural standard. Attitude towards prenatal care was highly influenced by the level of adaptation in France. But, even with equal prenatal care, perinatal pathology was higher among immigrant women: being an immigrant is a risk factor in itself.
一项针对1972年法国具有代表性的出生样本（涉及11000多名女性）的回顾性调查显示了移民与法国女性相比的围产期病理情况：胎儿或新生儿窘迫发生率更高，葡萄牙和北非女性的死产率高出三到四倍，北非女性的早产率高出两倍多。当考虑到移民女性和法国女性在胎次和社会文化水平上的差异时，移民中的围产期病理发生率仍然较高。即使考虑到移民的低社会文化标准，她们的产前护理也更常不足。对产前护理的态度受在法国适应程度的影响很大。但是，即使产前护理相同，移民女性的围产期病理情况仍然更高：移民本身就是一个风险因素。
