A Comprehensive Review on Social Inequalities and Pregnancy Outcome—Identification of Relevant Pathways and Mechanisms
Open accessAbstract
Scientific literature tends to support the idea that the pregnancy and health status of fetuses and newborns can be affected by maternal, parental, and contextual characteristics. In addition, a growing body of evidence reports that social determinants, measured at individual and/or aggregated level(s), play a crucial role in fetal and newborn health. Numerous studies have found social factors (including maternal age and education, marital status, pregnancy intention, and socioeconomic status) to be linked to poor birth outcomes. Several have also suggested that beyond individual and contextual social characteristics, living environment and conditions (or “neighborhood”) emerge as important determinants in health inequalities, particularly for pregnant women. Using a comprehensive review, we present a conceptual framework based on the work of both the Commission on Social Determinants of Health and the World Health Organization (WHO), aimed at describing the various pathways through which social characteristics can affect both pregnancy and fetal health, with a focus on the structural social determinants (such as socioeconomic and political context) that influence social position, as well as on intermediary determinants. We also suggest that social position may influence more specific intermediary health determinants; individuals may, on the basis of their social position, experience differences in environmental exposure and vulnerability to health-compromising living conditions. Our model highlights the fact that adverse birth outcomes, which inevitably lead to health inequity, may, in turn, affect the individual social position. In order to address both the inequalities that begin in utero and the disparities observed at birth, it is important for interventions to target various unhealthy behaviors and psychosocial conditions in early pregnancy. Health policy must, then, support: (i) midwifery availability and accessibility and (ii) enhanced multidisciplinary support for deprived pregnant women.

Overview
CoChat Summary
TL;DR
This comprehensive review of 35 studies finds excess risk of low birthweight (LBW) and preterm birth (PTB) among deprived pregnant women and those living in deprived neighborhoods. It proposes a WHO/CSDH-based conceptual framework linking structural social determinants through material circumstances, behaviors/lifestyle, psychosocial environment, and healthcare access to adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Key findings
- From 359 screened studies, 35 met inclusion criteria and most showed increased LBW or decreased birthweight with adverse socioeconomic conditions: maternal education LBW risk ranged from OR = 2.0 [1.49–2.71] to RR = 3.77 [2.26–6.30]; unemployment during pregnancy OR = 1.7 [1.37–2.10]; maternal income OR = 1.7 [1.58–2.84]; employment precarity RR = 1.48 [1.11–1.98].
- Birthweight decreased by beta = −103 g [−108; −97] for lower vs. higher maternal education and beta = −56 g [−61; −50] for paternal education; living in the most deprived areas was associated with beta = −113.4 g [−133.0; −93.8].
- PTB risk was higher in the highest county poverty quartile (OR = 1.18; 95% CI [1.03, 1.35]), in deprived vs. privileged neighborhoods (OR = 1.16; 95% CI [1.06–1.27]), and in most deprived vs. most privileged groups (OR = 1.5; 95% CI [1.3; 1.7]).
- SGA was associated with social characteristics in all but two studies: unemployment OR ≈ 1.3, low parental education up to 2.8, lowest income decile OR = 2.0 [1.78; 2.26], less skilled family head occupation RR = 1.79 [1.29; 2.47], and most deprived neighborhoods OR = 1.18 [1.07; 1.30].
Methods
- Comprehensive review following PRISMA: PubMed search for English-language articles published January 2000–April 2022, plus reference-list and citation screening, using keywords for deprivation, socioeconomic inequality, neighborhood, lifestyle, and outcomes including LBW, birthweight, PTB, gestational age, and SGA.
- Inclusion criteria were human studies, peer-reviewed English papers after 2000, restricted to pregnant women and pregnancy outcomes; non-original studies were excluded. Two authors independently screened and extracted data; 359 studies were screened and 35 met criteria.
- Extracted measures included ORs, HRs, RRs, and other association metrics, preferentially from fully adjusted models; the paper then adapted the CSDH/WHO conceptual framework to propose pathways and mechanisms.
Limitations
- The paper states that heterogeneous statistical methods and confounding factors make comparison across studies difficult; most studies used classical multivariate regression, only five performed multilevel analysis, and two tested mediation via structural equation models.
- The paper states that none of the reviewed studies adjusted on household characteristics such as family income, parental life course factors, and family smoking status, and none explored paternal characteristics except one study.
- Evident from the text: the search was limited to PubMed and English-language articles, and the included studies were heavily concentrated in the United States, with only six from Europe/UK, one from Asia, and one covering four countries; no formal quality appraisal or meta-analytic pooling is reported.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-11-13, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-11-13 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
