A large proportion of women requesting induced abortion in Oslo, Norway are of non-Western origin. The aim of this study was to investigate whether non-Western immigrant women are over-represented among women requesting induced abortion. For comparative purposes the proportion of non-Western women with deliveries was also assessed.
Included in the study were all women 16-50 years of age, living in Oslo in 1999. Age specific data on the number of female residents and the number of women with deliveries according to immigrant status were obtained from the City of Oslo's Statistical Office. Information on the number of induced abortions according to age and immigrant status was obtained from the medical records of all women requesting induced abortion in Oslo during a four-months period.
25% of all women requesting induced abortion (262/1,069) and 15.5% (20,637/132,843) of the general population were non-Western (ratio between proportions = 1.6, p < 0.05 chi square test). Non-Western women were over-represented in all age groups of women requesting induced abortion; this was most pronounced in the age groups > 35 years. Non-Western women were also over-represented in all age groups of women who had delivery. Half of all deliveries in women < 25 years were among non-Western women.
Non-Western immigrant women seem to represent a risk group for induced abortion.
在挪威奥斯陆，要求人工流产的女性中有很大一部分是非西方血统。本研究的目的是调查在要求人工流产的女性中，非西方移民女性的占比是否过高。为作比较，还评估了非西方女性在分娩女性中的占比。
研究纳入了1999年居住在奥斯陆的所有16至50岁女性。根据移民身份，从奥斯陆市统计局获取了特定年龄的女性居民数量和分娩女性数量的数据。根据年龄和移民身份的人工流产数量信息，来自奥斯陆所有要求人工流产女性在四个月期间的医疗记录。
所有要求人工流产的女性中，25%（262/1069）是非西方女性，总人口中这一比例为15.5%（20637/132843）（比例之比 = 1.6，卡方检验，p < 0.05）。在所有要求人工流产的女性年龄组中，非西方女性占比过高；在35岁以上年龄组中最为明显。在所有分娩女性的年龄组中，非西方女性占比也过高。25岁以下女性的分娩中，有一半发生在非西方女性中。
非西方移民女性似乎是人工流产的风险群体。
