Article Synopsis
- - The study examined perinatal health trends in Finland from 2000-2006, focusing on socioeconomic differences based on data from over 965,000 births recorded in the Finnish Medical Birth Register.
- - While some perinatal health indicators, like preterm and low birthweight births, showed reduced socioeconomic disparities after the late 1990s, risks for certain groups remained high, particularly among blue-collar workers in terms of preterm birth and low birthweight.
- - The overall trends indicated that socioeconomic inequalities in perinatal health outcomes were becoming more pronounced for certain indicators, suggesting that the improvements seen in the 1990s may not be continuing into the new millennium.

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 (Danish) majority population (N = 1,333,452) were identified.
