Abstract
Odds ratios (ORs) for LBW were 1.64 (95% CI 1.42, 1.90) for Asia and t he Pacific Islands, 1.68 (1.30, 2.16) for Sub-Saharan Africa and 0.86 (0.81-0.91) for Finland. Odds ratios for preterm birth were 1.48 (1.28 -1.72) for immigrants from Asia and the Pacific Islands and 1.22 (1.11 , 1.33) for immigrants from Eastern Europe. Remarkably small differenc es were found between immigrant women and native Swedish women.
