“…Given that the break-up of the Soviet Union in 1991 was followed by major societal changes, including impoverishment of the major part of the population, one could speculate that these changes might be reflected in a higher prevalence of preterm births and lower birth weight in the 1990s in both settings compared with the 1980s. Ethnic minorities in the Russian North generally have smaller infants than ethnic Russians (22). Although the proportion of ethnic Komi population in the Komi Republic is about 25%, their proportion in the urban areas is very low and it did not increase during the study period.…”

“…Despite its importance as a determinant of immediate and delayed health outcomes, there has been relatively little research on either patterns of poor fetal growth or their determinants in Russia. What research exists has tended to focus on the role of environmental factors, 9,10 geographical variation or ethnicity (specifically the indigenous population in the north of Russia) 11,12 . Socio‐economic factors have received less attention, in part because relevant variables are not routinely collected.…”

This paper describes pregnancy outcomes and identifies their determinants in a Russian region, in the year 2000. It includes all births and perinatal deaths recorded as occurring in Tula oblast. The socio-economic correlates of adverse outcomes are explored using logistic regression; outcomes and their determinants are compared with other countries. Perinatal mortality in Tula in 2000 was 16.8/1000 births. The frequencies of low birthweight, low ponderal index and preterm birth were higher in Tula than in other industrialised countries. Mean birthweight increased with increasing education and was higher in married than in single mothers, and higher in ethnic Russians than in others. Survival in the perinatal period was substantially lower at all birthweights than in Sweden, which has the lowest neonatal mortality rate in Europe. There are wide inequalities in fetal development in Russia, especially in relation to maternal education, and the adverse outcomes appear to reflect a combination of adverse fetal development (implying the need for policies that improve the health of prospective mothers) and poor survival (implying the need for more effective care for newborn infants).

“…The highest birthweight is observed among the Buryats, the indigenous population deep in the continental zone. This ethnic variability in anthropometrical characteristics of newborns is likely influenced by ecological factors within their habitats (Kozlov et al, 1993;Vershubsky and Kozlov, 2002;Wells and Cole, 2002;. Does this ethnic variability in body size at birth have any adaptive significance?…”

CHS is an independent publication series and publishes a wide variety of material in the field of circumpolar health and wellbeing. It is intended that the produced material is of considerable value for health care professionals and officials in circumpolar areas, or may otherwise be useful for health care development and practices in the circumpolar areas. It is planned, and depending on our clients and collaborators needs, that we will publish a varying amount of supplements annually. At this moment the first issue of the Circumpolar Health Supplements is available at the web pages of Int J Circumpolar Health (IJCH) (www.ijch.fi). This issue has also been distributed to all subscribers of IJCH free of charge. At present we are preparing to include the new supplement series in the different indexes. How to subscribe, how to conduct group orders of hard copies, and other practical issues will be detailed at the web pages of IJCH. This information will be also be indicated in the coming issues of IJCH and the next issue of CHS, which will be published in
