As an important life event in individuals' life, childbirth will affect the health of women to different degrees. More and more attention has been paid to whether the number of births will affect the incident diabetes in elderly women, but there are few related studies. Based on the data of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey in 2018, 6,159 older women are selected as the study population. Logistic regression analyses are used to estimate the relationship between the number of births and diabetes risk. For each additional birth, the odds ratio of maternal diabetes will decrease by 6.9% and the result is significant at the 1% level, especially among mothers having four children or less. The conclusion is equally applicable in the sample of fathers and urban mothers, but the increase in the number of births will increase the risk of diabetes in rural mothers, although this result is not statistically significant. Later age at first birth, later age at last birth, the longer childbearing period, and birth interval will significantly reduce the risk of diabetes.
分娩作为个体生命中的一个重要生活事件，会在不同程度上影响女性的健康。生育次数是否会影响老年女性患糖尿病的几率已受到越来越多的关注，但相关研究较少。基于2018年中国健康与养老追踪调查的数据，选取6159名老年女性作为研究对象。采用逻辑回归分析来估计生育次数与糖尿病风险之间的关系。每多生育一次，母亲患糖尿病的比值比将降低6.9%，且该结果在1%的水平上具有显著性，尤其是在生育四个及以下孩子的母亲中。该结论同样适用于父亲样本和城市母亲样本，但生育次数的增加会增加农村母亲患糖尿病的风险，尽管这一结果在统计学上并不显著。初产年龄较大、末次生育年龄较大、生育期较长以及生育间隔较长都会显著降低患糖尿病的风险。
