Objective: To compare stillbirth rates and risks for small for gestational age (SGA), large for gestational age (LGA) and appropriate for gestational age (AGA) pregnancies at 24-44 completed weeks of gestation using a birth-based and fetuses-at-risk approachs.

Design: Population-based, multi-country study.

Setting: National data systems in 15 high- and middle-income countries.

Background And Objectives: Volunteering is an important dimension of successful aging. Although prior studies have found that personal resources such as health and financial situations are associated with volunteering, there is a lack of research exploring the relationship between resource changes and volunteering. Here, we investigated whether changes in individuals' resources were associated with volunteer engagement among older Europeans.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study analyzed data from 115.6 million live births across 15 countries from 2000 to 2020 to assess the prevalence and neonatal mortality rates associated with large for gestational age (LGA) and macrosomia.
  • - Results indicated that LGA babies (those above the 90th percentile) had a lower risk of neonatal mortality compared to appropriate for gestational age (AGA) infants, while overall macrosomia (≥4000 g) also did not show increased mortality risk, except for higher weight categories.
  • - The findings suggest that a birthweight of ≥4500 g is a key indicator for increased early mortality risk in larger infants, which could help inform clinical decisions regarding their care. *

Background: In migration and health research, the healthy migrant effect has been a common finding, but it usually pertains to specific contexts only. Existing findings are inconsistent and inconclusive regarding the cognitive functioning of the (aging) foreign-origin population relative to the populations of their host and sending countries. Moreover, this comparison is an understudied design setting.
