![]() The excess risk of preterm births associated with low maternal education was 1.48 (1.29 to 1.69) and 1.84 (0.99 to 2.69) in relative and absolute terms (Relative/Slope Index of Inequality, RII/SII) for all cohorts combined. Results Mother's education was linked to an appreciable risk of preterm and small for gestational age (SGA) births across 12 European countries. Regression models were estimated within each cohort and meta-analyses were conducted to compare and measure heterogeneity between cohorts. Maternal education, preterm and small for gestational age births were determined at baseline along with covariate data. Methods Prospective cohort data of 75 296 newborns from 12 European countries were used. ![]() There is limited combined evidence on inequalities in health among newborns across a range of European countries. Background A healthy start to life is a major priority in efforts to reduce health inequalities across Europe, with important implications for the health of future generations.
