“…", and on the pregnancy risk classification according to health and social status by the health visitors. Since the PLOS ONE measuring instrument used does not have a Hungarian cut-off value, based on the prevalence of minor and major prenatal depression (which was estimated to be between 7 and 20% in previous foreign studies in high income countries [49] and between 8 and 20% in previous Hungarian studies [50]), we considered the top 20% to be characterized by significant depressive symptoms to maximize the sensitivity of the scale.…”

Background As Hungary had the fifth-highest rate of low-birthweight (LBW) in the EU27 in 2020, LBW still remains a public health problem for the country. Objective Our goal is to examine whether LBW in Hungary is determined by the mothers’ educational attainment, adjusted for other maternal characteristics (SES, health behaviour and psychological status during pregnancy) among mothers who gave birth in 2018–2019 in Hungary. Methods Source of data is the first and second wave of the Cohort ‘18 –Growing Up in Hungary longitudinal birth cohort study (n = 8185). It is based on a nationwide representative sample of pregnant women who gave birth between March 2018 and April 2019. All data were self-reported by mothers. We examined the association between maternal educational attainment and the risk of giving birth to an LBW-child (<2500g) by using logistic regression analysis. The highest educational attainment of the mother is measured by a five-value categorical variable (ISCED 97: 0–1; 2; 3C; 3–4; 5–6). Results 5.9% of women had LBW children. This rate is 18.0% among the lowest educated women with ISCED 97: 0–1; and it is 3.6% among the highest educated women with ISCED 97: 5–6. The adjusted predicted probabilities of LBW for these two groups of women are 13.5%, and 3.4% respectively, adjusted for household income quantiles, Roma ethnic background, residence place, smoking, alcohol consumption, and depression during pregnancy; controlled for mother’s height, age at birth, parity and child’s sex. Compared to women with the lowest level of education, the risk of giving birth to an LBW child decreases by 34.6% for those with the second level of education, by 60.1% for those with the third level of education, by 72.5% for those with the fourth level of education and by 77.2% for those with the highest level of education. Smoking during pregnancy significantly increases the risk of giving birth to an LBW by 54.9%. Being depressed at 7th month of pregnancy decreased the risk of giving birth to an LBW child in our sample by 13.2%, however the relationship is not significant. Conclusion Our analysis confirmed that maternal educational attainment has a significant impact on the risk of LBW net of by other maternal SES and health behaviour factors. Nevertheless, even after adjusting for these covariates, inequality in LBW by maternal educational attainment persists.
