To analyse the evolution of both pregnancies and voluntary terminations among adolescent women living in Catalonia.
An observational crossover study.
Catalonia.
The rates of fertility, pregnancy and voluntary termination (VT) were calculated. The ratio of VT per 100 live births among adolescent women (aged 15 to 19) and among the general population (15 to 49) between 1987 and 1992 was also calculated.
The pregnancy rate of adolescents remained stable throughout the study period, whereas their fertility rate went down. In parallel there was a spectacular increase in the percentage of VTs per live birth among adolescents.
Since the pregnancy rate among adolescents remained practically stable throughout the study period, an increase in activities aimed at primary prevention of these pregnancies is recommended.
分析加泰罗尼亚地区青春期女性怀孕及自愿终止妊娠情况的演变。
一项观察性交叉研究。
加泰罗尼亚。
计算生育率、怀孕率及自愿终止妊娠率。还计算了1987年至1992年间青春期女性(15至19岁)及普通人群(15至49岁)每100例活产的自愿终止妊娠比例。
在整个研究期间,青少年的怀孕率保持稳定,而生育率下降。与此同时,青少年中每例活产自愿终止妊娠的百分比大幅上升。
鉴于在整个研究期间青少年怀孕率基本保持稳定,建议增加针对这些怀孕的一级预防活动。
