年龄：一个被忽视的后代因素

根据一项旨在诉求开展全国防范子代文化教育单项的年度报告，数百万澳洲人将发现生个男小孩比他们显然的来得难了，甚至有些人根本就不用哺育了。 这个全国哺育学术研究揭示，成年人在30到39岁的人；还有88%的未成年和57%的成年人显然自己没有人哺育关键问题。 但是，他们难为了。 子代就在我们身边——每六对丈夫中所就有一对遭受子代伤痛——因为今日人们要小孩的成年人迟于，这样留下哺育的时间大大减少。只有27%的成年人在30岁以前生下第一个小孩，而30年前这个进制是92%。哺育成年人迟于是子代的一个主要关键问题，想想看，一个成年人在21岁时有将近1百万个卵细胞，但是到了27岁就只有大约150000个了。 主管纽西兰哺育Association确保哺育力开发计划的Anne Clark表明，成年人对成年人哺育力的阻碍发挥作用着误以为，而成年人对未成年哺育力的阻碍则发挥作用着来得多的误以为。 在被调查的2400人中所，只有2%的人显然未成年子代是拒绝接受容器生殖细胞病患的主因，没有人人显然成年人是造成了子代的主因。但哺育Association表明，未成年子代是借此容器生殖细胞病患的夫妻中所最常见的主因。 Clark 医师向联邦当局军事家们展示了哺育Association的学术研究结果，这些军事家们专门该组织了一个小组以推动一个国内哺育政策。 该小组一位叫Liberal MP Mal Washer的协作者把对子代的忽视形容为“一个国内的自然灾害”，他表明：“调查揭示，一场关于哺育成年人、吸烟以及其他诸如肥胖等主因造成了子代的全国文化教育战役迫在眉睫了”。 自然科学有性学者Ian Fraser 告知军事家们抛开需要确保哺育率的政策不说道，当局在这个关键问题来得加很严重的时候最终对一些哺育学术研究做出正式反应会。这包括Fraser教授2005年的一个年度报告，在该年度报告中所，Fraser教授简述了很多关于未成年子代病患和公众文化教育关键问题。 美国国会卫生部执行长Tony Abbott 说道，当局还在考虑Fraser的年度报告“这个年度报告以及当局的决策将会在年底暂定”。哺育学术研究学术研究表明：就算人们发觉了成年人对于哺育的阻碍，也不会对人们尽快何时哺育小孩造成阻碍。 Clark医师说道：与一些广为流传的看法相反，选择晚生小孩并不是成年人忙于她们的职业，而是借此比较稳定的的关系和金融业保障。被调查的成年人将职业主因领跑了14个阻碍她们做出哺育男小孩的尽快主因的第13位，30岁时还没有人男小孩的成年人；还有三分之一是因为她们没有人伴侣。 Clark表明，今日的社会叠加迫使人们哺育男小孩的成年人迟于，任何文化教育社交活动都无论如何为了让那些在30多岁设法哺育男小孩，但经过6到12个月的尝试还不用顺利的丈夫借此为了让。

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.
