Determinants of Natural Fertility in Matlab, Bangladesh
註釋In 1970 a one-year prospective study of birth interval dynamics for a group of 200 women in Matlab, Bangladesh, was done. The present paper reports on an extended and enlarged study of natural fertility in the same area. During the prospective period of 52 months (1975-1980), 2300 women were asked each month about their reproductive status, presence or absence of the husband, family planning use, and breastfeeding practice. During the first year of the study, anthropometric measures were taken and blood specimens were collected for biochemical analyses of the nutritional status of the women. During the last year of the study when interviewer-respondent rapport was well-established, a question on intercourse frequency was added.
