This analysis set out to identify associations between birth order and sexual health outcomes, focusing on family involvement in sex education and early sexual experiences. The third National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles is a stratified probability sample survey of 15 162 men and women aged 16-74 in Britain. Logistic regression was conducted to identify odds ratios for the association between birth order and sexual health outcomes. Multiple logistic regression was performed adjusting for socio-demographic factors and sibling number. Middle-born and last-born men had lower odds of reporting ease talking to parents about sex around age 14 and learning about sex from their mothers. Last-born women had lower odds of reporting a parental main source of sex education or having learned about sex from their mother. Findings represent an exploratory analysis in an under-researched area, and provide the basis for further research on the association between birth order and parental involvement in sex education, as well as the role and impact of sex education provided by older siblings.
本分析旨在确定出生顺序与性健康结果之间的关联，重点关注家庭在性教育中的参与情况以及早期性经历。第三次全国性态度和生活方式调查是对英国15162名年龄在16至74岁之间的男性和女性进行的分层概率抽样调查。进行逻辑回归以确定出生顺序与性健康结果之间关联的比值比。进行了多重逻辑回归，并对社会人口因素和兄弟姐妹数量进行了调整。排行中间和最小的男性表示，在14岁左右与父母谈论性以及从母亲那里了解性方面的难度较低。排行最小的女性表示，由父母作为主要性教育来源或从母亲那里了解性的可能性较低。研究结果是在一个研究不足的领域进行的探索性分析，为进一步研究出生顺序与父母参与性教育之间的关联以及哥哥姐姐提供的性教育的作用和影响奠定了基础。
