This study investigated the effect of mother's country of origin and baby's birthplace on infant birth-weight. The mean birth-weights of full-term babies born of well immigrant women from 5 countries were compared with those of women of Anglo-Australian origin confined at the same hospital. Data were collected from medical records at Canterbury hospital for 1,274 women confined between 1989 and 1992 and 2,524 of their babies. Multiple regression analysis showed that infants born in Australia to women from Vietnam and Korea were significantly heavier than infants born to these women in their country of origin. Babies born to women from Vietnam were significantly lighter than babies born to Anglo-Australian controls.
本研究调查了母亲的原籍国和婴儿的出生地对婴儿出生体重的影响。将来自5个国家的健康移民妇女所生的足月婴儿的平均出生体重，与在同一家医院分娩的英裔澳大利亚妇女所生婴儿的平均出生体重进行了比较。从坎特伯雷医院1989年至1992年期间分娩的1274名妇女及其2524名婴儿的病历中收集了数据。多元回归分析表明，越南和韩国妇女在澳大利亚所生婴儿的体重，显著高于这些妇女在其原籍国所生婴儿的体重。越南妇女所生婴儿的体重显著低于英裔澳大利亚对照妇女所生婴儿的体重。
