“…Contrary to what could be postulated, unemployed women and housewives seem to be the risk group (9,(11)(12)(13)(14). Corresponding systematic differences between employed and unemployed women have been reported in other studies (10,12,15,16), and these differences are probably due to selection mechanisms.…”

“…In an additional log-linear multivariate analysis which controlled for class, parity and smoking simultaneously, this relationship between work and birthweight was eliminated suggesting that the previously observed differences were attributable to lifestyle differences. [16] Other studies have confirmed the differences in lifestyle between employed and non-employed women, [13,17,18] pointing to the need to consider lifestyle factors in any analysis of work and health.…”

One of the more dramatic structural changes in a number of western industrial societies has involved the increased participation of women in the paid labour force. Little is known about the health consequences of this change. This paper reports the findings of a prospective longitudinal study of 8,556 pregnant women who were interviewed on three occasions; early in their pregnancy, shortly after the birth of the baby and some six months later. Additional data were derived from the medical record of the delivery. The findings suggest that employed women and housewives differ in their health behaviour (e.g. number of missed appointments, attendance at antenatal classes, smoking) and emotional health in pregnancy, but that there are no significant differences between employed women and housewives in their physical health or pregnancy outcomes. Although none of the differences was statistically significant, virtually all of the indices of outcome were slightly more favourable for the housewives than for the employed women.

Objetivo: Realizar una revisión de los estudios epidemiológicos sobre la influencia de la situación laboral y el tipo de ocupación materna en el nacimiento de niños con bajo peso y pretérmino. Material y métodos:Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica en las bases de datos Medline y EMBASE. Los artículos seleccionados se clasificaron siguiendo un protocolo que recogía las características de los estudios, la situación laboral materna, el tipo de ocupación y el resultado del embarazo.Resultados: Se incluyeron 21 artículos en los que mayoritariamente no se observan diferencias significativas entre las amas de casa y las empleadas en ninguno de los 2 efectos. En las investigaciones en las que se evalúa el tipo de ocupación, se observa un mayor riesgo entre las embarazadas que trabajan en el sector servicios y manual. Conclusiones:Las evidencias encontradas apuntan a la necesidad de protección en el embarazo a las trabajadoras de estos sectores. PALABRAS CLAVEExposición materna. Mujer trabajadora. Bajo peso al nacimiento. Pretérmino. ABSTRACT Objectives:To review epidemiological studies on the association between maternal employment and type of occupation and neonatal prematurity and low birth weight. Material and methods:We performed a literature search in the Medline and EMBASE databases. The articles selected were classified according to a protocol that included the study's characteristics',
