Summary. (from line 12). Odds ratios (ORs) for LBW were 1.64 (95% CI 1.42,1.90) for Asia and the Pacific Islands, 1.68 (1.30,2.16) for Sub‐Saharan Africa and 0.86 (0.81‐0.91) for Finland. Odds ratios for preterm birth were 1.48 (1.28‐1.72) for immigrants from Asia and the Pacific Islands and 1.22 (1.11,1.33) for immigrants from Eastern Europe. Remarkably small differences were found between immigrant women and native Swedish women.
