Lifecourse Socioeconomic Status and High-Risk Pregnancy in Chinese Women: Evidence From Grandmothers, Mothers, and Their Children’s Health Study
Introduction
The increasing proportion of women with high-risk pregnancy has been highlighted as an important public health challenge. This study examined the associations between maternal socioeconomic status during childhood, young adulthood, and married life and the risk of the spectrum of high-risk pregnancy in Chinese pregnant women.
Methods
This study used data from the Grandmothers, Mothers, and Their Children’s Health study, which was conducted in Huai’an city, China, from 2020 to 2021 and included 8,407 married pregnant women. High-risk pregnancy was defined according to the Five-Color Management framework by linking to the Maternity Information System. Maternal socioeconomic status across the life course was constructed using the educational levels of maternal parents, maternal family economic status at age 18 years (referring to parents’ economic status), maternal educational level, maternal occupation, husband’s educational level, and annual household income. Logistic regression models, the Shapley value decomposition, and the serial mediation model were used. Analyses were conducted in 2024.
Results
There were dose-response associations between socioeconomic status scores and high-risk pregnancy at each stage of maternal life, including childhood, young adulthood, and married life (p for trend<0.05). Married life socioeconomic status accounted for 79.59% of the model’s explanatory power, followed by young adulthood (10.84%) and childhood socioeconomic status (9.57%). Compared with those with consistently high socioeconomic status, women with consistently low socioeconomic status had higher odds of developing high-risk pregnancy (OR=1.63, 95% CI=1.32, 2.01).
Conclusions
Women with lower socioeconomic status across their life-course, particularly those with consistently low socioeconomic status, have a higher risk of high-risk pregnancy. Married life socioeconomic status accounts for the largest portion of the explanatory power of the model. Reducing socioeconomic inequalities from a life-course perspective and promoting universal access to healthcare resources should be considered in the implementation of universal two-child and three-child policies in China.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Preventive Medicine is the official journal of the American College of Preventive Medicine and the Association for Prevention Teaching and Research. It publishes articles in the areas of prevention research, teaching, practice and policy. Original research is published on interventions aimed at the prevention of chronic and acute disease and the promotion of individual and community health.
Of particular emphasis are papers that address the primary and secondary prevention of important clinical, behavioral and public health issues such as injury and violence, infectious disease, women''s health, smoking, sedentary behaviors and physical activity, nutrition, diabetes, obesity, and substance use disorders. Papers also address educational initiatives aimed at improving the ability of health professionals to provide effective clinical prevention and public health services. Papers on health services research pertinent to prevention and public health are also published. The journal also publishes official policy statements from the two co-sponsoring organizations, review articles, media reviews, and editorials. Finally, the journal periodically publishes supplements and special theme issues devoted to areas of current interest to the prevention community.
