Abstract

Despite of significant social meaning of childlessness in Vietnam, there have been less scientific interests and social concerns about infertility during the past decades. This study aimed to measure infertility prevalence rate among Vietnamese married women and identifies the risk factors associated with vulnerability of infertility in social perspectives. A total of 11,715 married women aged between 20 and 44 years were selected from two rounds of Vietnam Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey in 2011 and 2014. The study applied a demographic definition of infertility; refers to an absence of live birth in the past 24 months among married women having desire of child and not using any contraceptive method. Primary infertility prevalence was decreased from 1.6% in 2011 to 1.1% in 2014, while secondary infertility increased from 3.5% to 3.7% during the same period. Multinomial logistic regression analysis revealed that age of women and husband, education, wealth index and age at first marriage were significantly associated with primary infertility, while education, wealth index and age at first marriage were significantly associated with secondary infertility. Despite some limitations, this study is helpful to understand infertility dynamics and some influencing factors increasing the risk of infertility in social context of the Vietnam.

越南不孕的患病率和社会危险因素

尽管在越南无子女具有重要的社会意义，但在过去的几十年里，对不孕不育的科学兴趣和社会关注较少。本研究旨在测量越南已婚妇女的不孕症患病率，并从社会角度确定与不孕症易感性相关的危险因素。在2011年和2014年的两轮越南多指标类集调查中，共选择了11,715名年龄在20至44岁之间的已婚女性。该研究采用了不孕不育的人口统计学定义;指有生育愿望且未采取任何避孕措施的已婚妇女在过去24个月内没有活产的情况。原发性不孕症患病率从2011年的1.6%下降到2014年的1.1%，而同期继发性不孕症患病率从3.5%上升到3.7%。多项logistic回归分析显示，女性与丈夫的年龄、教育程度、财富指数和初婚年龄与原发性不孕症显著相关，教育程度、财富指数和初婚年龄与继发性不孕症显著相关。尽管有一定的局限性，但本研究有助于了解越南社会背景下的不孕动态和不孕风险的影响因素。
