Among younger people, associations between parental socioeconomic status and mental health were mostly explained by educational attainment whereas among older people associations between parental socioeconomic status and mental health were mostly explained by household income.

Therefore, issues regarding the health status of migrants, especially migrant mothers and their children, have not been discussed enthusiastically in Japan. In the present study, we aimed to describe trends and spatial patterns (time trend of the number, areal distribution, and frequency of maternal nationality of newborn births) of live births by migrant mothers in Japan, which contributes to the administration of medical policies on the perinatal care of migrant mothers. This study used data from the vital statistics reported by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) of Japan and from foreign resident statistics reported by Immigration Services Agency (ISA) of Japan. To show areal inequality in the number of live births by migrant mothers, we applied the Gini coefficient. This study demonstrated that the number of live births by migrant mothers increased from 16,154 (1.31% of the total) in 1990 to 26,517 (3.08%) in 2020. It also showed stronger areal inequality at prefecture level by Japanese mothers (Gini coefficient; 0.64 vs 0.46 in 2020), and this areal inequality has increased during the last decade. This study also illustrated that the frequency of maternal nationality of newborns from migrant mothers has been altered in the last decade, especially in the composition of Asian countries. In conclusion, the number of live births by migrant mothers in Japan has been progressively increasing; however, this trend is excessively concentrated in specific areas in Japan. These tendencies are expected to become more prominent in the future, and their possible impacts on medical institutions and administrative agencies in specific areas that treat migrant mothers should be investigated and discussed.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47780,"journal":{"name":"Ssm-Population Health","volume":"25 ","pages":"Article 101532"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352827323001970/pdfft?md5=f61fa42ad66c169526fa60cca26d084c&pid=1-s2.0-S2352827323001970-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135963312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Greenland, health inequality has been shown to exist among social groups, regionally and according to urbanization, and between Inuit and migrants from Denmark.

We hypothesized that social inequality in health increased parallel to the increasing economic inequality in Greenland. The sample was based on four population health surveys conducted among the Inuit in Greenland in 1993, 2005–2010, 2014 and 2018. The total number of interviews was 9024 and the total number of individuals interviewed was 5829, as participants were invited to several surveys as part of a cohort. As statistical measure of social disparity we used the slope index of inequality (SII) adjusted for age and sex. Analyses were performed with daily smoking, suicidal thoughts and obesity as health outcomes. Daily smoking was most prevalent among participants with low social position whereas obesity was most prevalent among participants with high social position. With household assets as indicator of social position, the results showed high and increasing social inequality for both daily smoking and obesity. Social inequality for daily smoking increased over time also for urbanization and the sociocultural index. The hypothesis that social inequality increased over time was thus confirmed for daily smoking and obesity but not for suicidal thoughts.

Establishing whether maternal social support may have an inter-generational positive impact on their child's physical health will provide important information for developing potential interventions and policies. Elevated body mass index (BMI) is one indicator of child health that is linked to increased risk for cardiovascular disease and other morbidities later in life. There is some evidence that maternal social support is associated with improved child and adolescent weight status; however, no studies have examined whether specific aspects of social support are more impactful than others or whether support availability is differentially impactful across developmental stages. The present study examined whether maternal perceptions of specific types of social support (i.e., financial support, non-monetary instrumental support, partner emotional support, and having a close supportive contact) were associated with lower adolescent BMI z-scores using longitudinal data collected over a 15-year period from the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study (n = 3146), which includes a high proportion of families experiencing socioeconomic disadvantage. Findings from linear regression models using specific types of social support measured across six waves of data collected over a 15-year period indicated that maternal perceptions of greater financial support were associated with lower adolescent BMI z-scores at 15 years (B = −0.05, 95% CI: −0.10, −0.004, <em>P</em> = 0.04), while the other types of support were not. Additional timing analyses demonstrated that perceived financial support during late childhood to adolescence was associated with lower adolescent BMI z-scores (B = −0.06, 95% CI: −0.11, −0.01, P = 0.01), whereas associations between support during infancy and early childhood were not detected. Study findings provide important insights for developing interventions and policies that improve maternal social supports to benefit child health.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47780,"journal":{"name":"Ssm-Population Health","volume":"25 ","pages":"Article 101647"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352827324000478/pdfft?md5=a874ab4c584fdbbea33d3e21c3f05900&pid=1-s2.0-S2352827324000478-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140072609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
