Abstract

Objective: Induced abortion is widely practiced in China. However, the information on induced abortion is limited. A national cross-sectional survey was designed to determine the risk factors of induced abortion among Chinese women with one child.

Methods: We sampled 16,881 Chinese women with one living child for the study. A structured questionnaire was used to collect induced abortion and related health information. The National Research Institute for Family Planning of China conducted a cross-sectional study among women who had delivered a baby between 2006 and 2008. Information was collected in relation to demographic characteristics (age, ethnicity, region, area etc.), social economic status (education level and occupation), marriage, and the attitude towards potential child's gender. Multi-logistic regression was used to test potential predictors for conducting abortion stratified by consistency between gender preference and current infants' gender, and indicating adjusted estimation on selected models of risk factors for abortion.

Results: The mean age of participants was 27.96 ± 4.10 years (median 27 years). Among those women, the prevalence of induced abortion was 8.13 %. In the final model, females living in rural areas (OR = 1.21, 95 %CI: 1.04-1.39), individuals ages 18-25 (OR = 0.84, 95% CI: 0.72-0.99), individuals ages 30 or older (OR = 1.63, 95% CI: 1.42-1.86), and single individuals (OR = 1.72, 95% CI: 1.05-2.83) were more likely to experience induced abortion. Wife gender preference (OR = 0.66, 95 %CI: 0.53-0.83), husband gender preference (Boy: OR = 1.33, 95 %CI: 1.10-1.63; Girl: OR = 1.5, 95% CI: 1.22-1.86), and the area where the individuals were located were significantly associated with the reporting of induced abortion.

Conclusion: The prevalence of induced abortion is high among married women with child in China. There are also socio-demographic characteristics associated with induced abortion in China.

中国有活胎妇女的人工流产——一项全国性研究。
目的:人工流产在中国广泛实施。然而,关于人工流产的资料有限。通过一项全国性的横断面调查,旨在确定中国独生子女妇女人工流产的危险因素。方法:对16881名育有1个孩子的中国妇女进行抽样研究。采用结构化问卷收集人工流产及相关健康信息。中国国家计划生育研究所对2006年至2008年间分娩的妇女进行了一项横断面研究。收集人口统计学特征(年龄、民族、地区、地区等)、社会经济地位(教育程度、职业)、婚姻、对未来孩子性别的态度等信息。采用多元逻辑回归对流产的潜在预测因子进行分层,以性别偏好与当前婴儿性别的一致性进行分层,并对所选的流产危险因素模型进行调整估计。结果:参与者的平均年龄为27.96±4.10岁(中位27岁)。其中人工流产率为8.13%。在最后的模型中,生活在农村地区的女性(OR = 1.21, 95% CI: 1.04-1.39)、18-25岁的个体(OR = 0.84, 95% CI: 0.72-0.99)、30岁及以上的个体(OR = 1.63, 95% CI: 1.42-1.86)和单身个体(OR = 1.72, 95% CI: 1.05-2.83)更容易经历人工流产。妻子性别偏好(OR = 0.66, 95% CI: 0.53-0.83),丈夫性别偏好(男孩:OR = 1.33, 95% CI: 1.10-1.63;女孩:OR = 1.5, 95% CI: 1.22-1.86),个体所在的区域与人工流产报告显著相关。结论:中国已婚育龄妇女人工流产率较高。与中国人工流产相关的还有社会人口统计学特征。
