This commentary discusses the limited availability of information on contraceptive preferences and unmet need for contraception among midlife women in both high and low income countries. Given that risk of pregnancy continues until women reach menopause and given the increased risk of pregnancy complications, elective abortion, and maternal mortality in women aged 45 to 54 years old, increased focus on gathering basic data on midlife women's preferences and unmet need is warranted.
本评论探讨了高收入和低收入国家中年女性避孕偏好及未满足的避孕需求方面信息有限的情况。鉴于女性直到绝经前仍有怀孕风险,且45至54岁女性怀孕并发症、选择性堕胎和孕产妇死亡率风险增加,因此有必要更加关注收集关于中年女性偏好和未满足需求的基础数据。
