年龄：一个被忽视的后代因素

根据一项旨在号召筹划各省市防止后代基础教育项目的份文件，数百万澳洲人将发现生个小孩比他们想象的更为难了，甚至有些人根本就没法分娩了。 这个各省市性分娩深入研究推断，成年在30到39岁的人和有88%的女性和57%的异性恋普遍认为自己没法分娩原因。 但是，他们错了。 后代就在我们随从——每六对前妻里就有一对遭受后代困扰——因为过去人们要女儿的成年推延，这样毕竟分娩的时间尽量减少。只有27%的异性恋在30岁以前生下第一个女儿，而30同一时间这个数字是92%。分娩成年推延是后代的一个主要原因，想想看，一个异性恋在21岁时有多达1数卵细胞，但是到了27岁就只有大约150000个了。 部门澳大利亚分娩协会维护分娩力构想的Anne Clark反驳，成年对异性恋分娩力的因素发挥作用着曲解，而成年对女性分娩力的因素则发挥作用着更为多的曲解。 在被深入调查的2400人和，只有2%的人普遍认为女性后代是接受导管胚胎放射治疗的原因，没法人普遍认为成年是导致后代的因素。但分娩协会反驳，女性后代是说服导管胚胎放射治疗的夫妻里最常见的原因。 Clark 医生向联邦政治家们展示了分娩协会的深入研究结果，这些政治家们专供组织了一个的小组以推动一个东欧国家分娩政策。 该的小组一位叫Liberal MP Mal Washer的协作者把对后代的忽视形容为“一个东欧国家的灾难”，他反驳：“深入调查推断，一场关于分娩成年、吸烟以及其他诸如肥胖等因素导致后代的各省市基础教育战役置之不理了”。 医学胚胎动物学家Ian Fraser 告诉政治家们抛开需要维护分娩率的政策不说是，政府在这个原因变得很严重的时候未能对一些分娩深入研究做出正式反应。这包含Fraser教授2005年的一个份文件，在该份文件里，Fraser教授介绍了很多关于女性后代放射治疗和公众基础教育原因。 联邦政府卫生部美联社Tony Abbott 说是，政府还在选择Fraser的份文件“这个份文件以及政府的决策他将会在年底定为”。分娩深入研究深入研究反驳：就算人们知道了成年对于分娩的因素，也没法对人们暂时何时分娩女儿造成因素。 Clark医生说是：与一些广为人知的想法相反，选取晚**儿并不是异性恋作准备她们的职业，而是说服平稳的亲密关系和经济保护。被深入调查的异性恋将职业原因排到了14个因素她们做出分娩小孩的暂时因素的第13位，30岁时还没法小孩的异性恋里有三分之一是因为她们没法伴侣。 Clark反驳，过去的社会生活变化迫使人们分娩小孩的成年推延，任何基础教育活动都应该鼓励那些在30多岁试图分娩小孩，但经过6到12个月的无论如何还没法成功的前妻说服努力。

Ignorance a factor in infertilityAnnabel StaffordOctober 13, 2006MILLIONS of Australians will find it much harder to he children than they expect — or may not be able to he them at all — according to a landmark new report that has led to calls for a national education program to prevent infertility.The National Fertility Study shows that 88 per cent of men and 57 per cent of women between the ages of 30 and 39 reckon they will he children without any problem.They're wrong.While infertility has always been around — one in six couples will suffer from it — because people are now hing children much later in life, the time left to conceive has been cut dramatically. Just 27 per cent of women he their first child before they turn 30, compared to 92 per cent 30 years ago. This is a major problem for fertility considering that at 21 a woman has more than 1 million eggs while at 27 she has only about 150,000.Anne Clark, who runs the fertility preservation project for the Fertility Society of Australia, said while there was misunderstanding about the effects of age on a woman's fertility, there was even more misunderstanding about its effects on a man's.Only 2 per cent of the 2400 people surveyed believed a man's infertility was a reason people got IVF treatment and none believed a man's age was a factor. But male infertility is the most common reason couples seek IVF, according to the Fertility Society.Dr Clark presented the results of the Fertility Study this week to federal politicians who he formed a group dedicated to promoting the need for a national fertility policy.The group's co-ordinator, Liberal MP Mal Washer, described ignorance about fertility as "a national disaster". The survey proved the need for a national education campaign about the effects on fertility of age, smoking and other factors such as obesity, he said.Reproductive medicine expert Ian Fraser told the politicians that despite the desperate need for a fertility preservation policy, the Government had failed to release or publicly respond to several reviews into infertility made since it had come to power. These included a 2005 review by Professor Fraser, which is believed to recommend more public education about and treatments for male infertility.A spokeswoman for federal Health Minister Tony Abbott said that the Government was still considering the Fraser review and "the report, together with the Government's response, will be made public before the end of the year".The Fertility Study suggests that even if people know about the effect of age on fertility, it may not change decisions about when to he children.Contrary to popular belief, later childbearing was not due to women pursuing their careers, but to a desire for stable relationships and financial security, Dr Clark said. Surveyed women rated career equal 13th of 14 factors that would influence their decision to he children, while one in three women in their 30s had no children because they had no partner.Dr Clark said that because such societal changes were forcing people to he children later, any education campaign should also encourage couples in their 30s to seek help if they were unable to conceive after six to 12 months of trying.
