    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Maternal birth cohort and socioeconomic conditions significantly impact perinatal mortality rates from congenital anomalies and other causes. Improving these conditions may lower infant mortality to levels seen in Sweden.

    Area of Science:

    • Perinatal epidemiology
    • Public health
    • Reproductive health

    Background:

    • Perinatal mortality rates are influenced by various factors, including maternal socioeconomic circumstances.
    • Historical data suggests a link between maternal upbringing and infant health outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between maternal birth cohort, socioeconomic factors, and perinatal death rates.
    • To analyze trends in central nervous system deformities and other causes of perinatal mortality.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of national perinatal death statistics from the 19th century onwards.
    • Examination of detailed perinatal data from Scotland.
    • Correlation of mortality rates with maternal birth and rearing periods.

    Main Results:

    • Perinatal death rates from central nervous system deformities and other causes are associated with the mother's birth and rearing period.
    • Increased anencephaly death rates in the late 1940s-1950s linked to women born during the 1926-1937 economic depression.
    • Socioeconomic disparities in maternal environment correlate with perinatal mortality.

    Conclusions:

    • Maternal cohort effects, shaped by socioeconomic conditions during upbringing, play a significant role in perinatal mortality.
    • Achieving very low perinatal mortality rates comparable to Sweden requires generational improvements in the maternal environment, addressing socioeconomic disparities.
