Joint exposure to parental cancer and income loss during childhood and the child’s socioeconomic position in early adulthood: A Danish and Norwegian register-based cohort study
BACKGROUND: Parental cancer as well as economic hardship in the family during childhood can affect the child negatively. Our aim was to examine the association between the joint exposure to parental cancer and income loss in childhood and the child's socioeconomic position in early adulthood. METHODS: We conducted a register-based prospective cohort study of children born in Denmark between 1978 and 1986 and in Norway between 1979 and 1987. The c…
Implementation, Mechanisms and Context of the Mamaact Intervention to Reduce Ethnic and Social Disparity in Stillbirth and Infant Health
The MAMAACT intervention aimed to address ethnic and social disparity in stillbirth and infant health by improving management of pregnancy complications. This process evaluation of the intervention was guided by the British Medical Research Council's framework. We examined implementation through dose, reach, and fidelity, important mechanisms and the influence of contextual factors. The intervention included a six-hour training session for antena…
Birthweight of babies born to migrant mothers - What role do integration policies play
Birthweights of babies born to migrant women are generally lower than those of babies born to native-born women. Favourable integration policies may improve migrants' living conditions and contribute to higher birthweights. We aimed to explore associations between integration policies, captured by the Migrant Integration Policy Index (MIPEX), with offspring birthweight among migrants from various world regions. In this cross-country study we pool…
Universal or Targeted Antenatal Care for Immigrant Women? Mapping and Qualitative Analysis of Practices in Denmark
Inequity in immigrants' health during pregnancy and childbirth has been shown. We studied the Danish regional organization of public midwifery-based antenatal care (ANC) for immigrant women to assess the strengths and weaknesses of organizing ANC as either universal or immigrant-targeted. A telephone survey in 2012 to all the Danish maternity wards ( n = 20) was conducted. Semi-structured interviews with midwives providing targeted care ( n = 6) …
How do early-life factors explain social inequalities in adolescent mental health? Findings from the UK Millennium Cohort Study
BACKGROUND: Reducing inequalities in adolescent mental health is a public health priority, yet the pathways that link social conditions to mental health outcomes in the early years are unclear. We aimed to evaluate the extent to which early years risk factors explain social inequalities in adolescent mental health in the UK. METHODS: We analysed data from 6509 children captured in the UK Millennium Cohort Study. Mental health was assessed through…

Primary school achievement and socioeconomic attainment in individuals affected by parental cancer in childhood or adolescence: A Danish nationwide register-based study
Background Children who experience parental cancer are at increased risk of developing emotional, social, cognitive and behavioural problems. Our aim was to investigate how experience of parental cancer in childhood or adolescence is associated with primary school achievement, educational attainment and income in early adult life. Methods This is a register-linkage, prospective study of children born in Denmark from 1978 through 1999 and their pa…
Breastfeeding Practices in Relation to Country of Origin Among Women Living in Denmark: A Population-Based Study
The objective of this study was to describe breastfeeding practices and to compare the risk of suboptimal breastfeeding of women living in Denmark according to country of origin, and further to examine how socio-economic position and duration of stay in the country affected this risk. Information on breastfeeding of 42,420 infants born 2002-2009 and living in eighteen selected Danish municipalities was collected from the Danish Health Visitor's C…
Prenatal exposure to alcohol, and gender differences on child mental health at age seven years
BACKGROUND: It remains uncertain whether exposure to lower doses of alcohol is damaging to the developing fetus. The present study aimed to investigate associations for boys and girls between prenatal exposure to binge drinking and lower doses of alcohol in pregnancy, and parent-reported behavioural and emotional development at age seven. METHODS: This study used data from the Danish National Birth Cohort. Associations between cumulated alcohol e…
Are the educational differences in incidence of cardiovascular disease explained by underlying familial factors? A twin study
Sex differences in child and adolescent mortality by parental education in the Nordic countries
BACKGROUND: Socioeconomic position inequalities in infant mortality are well known, but there is less information on how child mortality is socially patterned by sex and age. OBJECTIVE: To assess maternal and paternal socioeconomic inequalities in mortality by sex, whether these differences vary by age and country, and how much of the sex differences can be explained by external causes of death. METHODS: Data on all live-born children were receiv…
A comparative study of educational inequality in the risk of stillbirth in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden 1981–2000
BACKGROUND: The stillbirth rates in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden are among the lowest in the world, but socioeconomic disparities in stillbirth still exist. This study examined the educational patterns in the risk of stillbirth in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden from 1981 to 2000. METHODS: From the national birth registries, all singleton live births and stillbirths with a gestational age of at least 28 weeks were selected in Denmark (…
P1-514 Timing of motor milestones achievement and development of overweight in childhood
Background Late achievement of motor milestones may increase the risk of overweight since early achievers have increased possibility to build lean body mass and expend energy. Further overweight infants may have delayed achievement of gross motor milestones as the overweight may limit mobility. The aim of this paper was to investigate whether delayed ability to sit and walk is associated with BMI at age seven and whether increasing weight at birt…
P1-337 Social inequality in mortality: Causality or selection
Introduction The aim of this study was to examine to which degree the often demonstrated association between educational status and mortality is confounded by family characteristics, that is environment in childhood and genetic setup. To disentangle an independent causal effect of educational status on mortality from selection mechanisms, we used a discordant sibling design making it possible to control for the shared early life environment and t…
O5-6.3 Advanced paternal age and risk of death before the age of 5 years: A register-based cohort study
Introduction An association between paternal age and children's health was suggested by Penrose as early as 1955. More recently, relationships have been suggested between paternal age and specific diseases and fetal death. The association is mainly put down to the increased mutation rate in male germ cells. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between paternal age and under 5-year mortality. Methods Based on data from Danish …
P1-465 Education and cardiovascular disease incidence in Danish men and women. A discordant twin pair design
Introduction Social inequality in cardiovascular disease (CVD) is well-established. However, the causal paths driving this association are unclear. To disentangle the effect of education from underlying background factors we investigated the association between education and the risk of CVD using twin data to adjust for familial confounding. Methods The study was based on data from the Danish Twin Registry linked to official registers in Statisti…
Parental socioeconomic position and development of overweight in adolescence: Longitudinal study of Danish adolescents
The levels of overweight and obesity among adolescents are high and continue to rise. Results from this study suggest that the inverse social gradient in overweight becomes steeper for girls and emerges for boys in late adolescence (age span 15 to 21 years). Late adolescence seems to be an important window of opportunity in reducing the social inequality in overweight among Danish adolescents
Ethnic disparity in stillbirth and infant mortality in Denmark 1981–2003
OBJECTIVE: Ethnic minorities constitute a growing part of the Danish population but little is known about ethnic disparity in early life mortality in this population. The aim of this study was to investigate ethnic disparities in stillbirth risk and infant mortality in Denmark from 1981 to 2003. METHODS: From population-covering registries, all live and stillbirths of women from the five largest ethnic minority groups and of women from the (Danis…
Time is on whose side? Time trends in the association between maternal social disadvantage and offspring fetal growth. A study of 1 409 339 births in Denmark, 1981–2004
BACKGROUND: Fetal growth is highly socially patterned and is related to health across the life course, but how the social patterns of fetal growth change over time remains understudied. The time trends in maternal social disadvantage in relation to fetal growth were examined in the context of a universal welfare state under changing macroeconomic conditions over a 24-year period. METHODS: All births in Denmark from 1981 to 2004 were included, and…
