[Vocational activity and unemployment of females and pregnancy outcome].
Epidemiologic studies relating unfavourable pregnancy outcomes of working women are reviewed. Inconsistent results are found. This is due to differing types of work and above all to the distribution of sociodemographic factors. The study presented comprising all cases of births and deaths in Berlin (West) of the years 1982-1985 (n = 72.206) showed no difference in low birth weight, but an evidently higher infant mortality for women who were not working. This is explained by sociodemographic factors. This leads to consequences for a target group and health oriented attendance for the public health services.
