This study examined birthweights of North African immigrants in Belgium.
Analyses focused on Belgian single live birth certificates from 1981 to 1988.
Low-birthweight (< 2500 g) rates were 3.1% among 34,686 newborns of North African origin and 4.8% among 804,286 newborns of Belgian origin. The entire North African birthweight distribution was shifted toward higher birthweights than the Belgian distribution. Low frequencies of low birthweights among North Africans were still observed after marital status, occupation of the father, and parity had been taken into account.
Despite their low socioeconomic status, North African immigrants have high birthweights.
本研究调查了比利时的北非移民的出生体重。
分析集中于1981年至1988年比利时的单胎活产出生证明。
在34686名北非裔新生儿中，低出生体重（<2500克）率为3.1%，在804286名比利时裔新生儿中为4.8%。与比利时人的分布相比，整个北非出生体重分布向更高的出生体重偏移。在考虑婚姻状况、父亲职业和产次后，仍观察到北非人中低出生体重的频率较低。
尽管社会经济地位较低，但北非移民的出生体重较高。
