The study included data from 596,306 pregnancies registered in Norway between 2009 and 2018.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We found that the frequency of adverse health outcomes and of non\u2010spontaneous delivery decreased with each increase in educational attainment and income. Compared to completion of lower secondary education or less, achieving a graduate\u2010level education was associated with a 36% lower risk of an adverse maternal health outcome after adjusting for age, parity and county. The risk was 18% lower for the highest compared to the lowest income quintile. The highest educated group had 35% lower risk of non\u2010spontaneous delivery than the lowest educated, with the same adjustments. The highest income group had a 16% lower risk of such deliveries than the lowest. Descendants of immigrants face higher risk of adverse health outcomes than immigrants. Higher maternal age partly mitigates the higher health risk among women with low income and education.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Even though access to care is more equitable in Norway than in many other countries, we still found a pattern of risk associated with social determinants of health.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ppe.13167","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,11]],"date-time":"2025-02-11T13:54:13Z","timestamp":1739282053000},"page":"265-273","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Social Influences on Maternal Health: A Norwegian Register\u2010Based Study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"39","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6921-5777","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Darci N.","family":"Johnson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Fertility and Health Norwegian Institute of Public Health  Oslo Norway"},{"name":"Institute for Health and Society University of Oslo  Oslo Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3249-8918","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jennifer R.","family":"Harris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Fertility and Health Norwegian Institute of Public Health  Oslo Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3737-436X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Martin","family":"Flat\u00f8","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Fertility and Health Norwegian Institute of Public Health  Oslo Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","unstructured":"World Health Organization \u201cMaternal Health \u201daccessed May 8 2024 https:\/\/www.who.int\/health\u2010topics\/maternal\u2010health#tab=tab_1."},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","unstructured":"UNICEF \u201cMaternal Mortality \u201daccessed May 1 2024 https:\/\/data.unicef.org\/topic\/maternal\u2010health\/maternal\u2010mortality\/#:~:text=Maternal%20mortality%20refers%20to%20deathsto%20UN%20inter%2Dagency%20estimates."},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12978\u2010018\u20100527\u20102"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.labeco.2013.01.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11205\u2010019\u201002078\u2010z"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/esr\/jcz057"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/eurpub\/cku075"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10995\u2010023\u201003695\u20104"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.1251872"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.annepidem.2012.01.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amepre.2010.05.012"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/3004028"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140\u20106736(10)62233\u20107"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140\u20106736(21)01595\u20106"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.worlddev.2020.105005"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1503\/cmaj.051096"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/tmi.13218"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"K.Moulton\u2010Kennedy S.Miller P.Persson M.Rossin\u2010Slater L.
