年龄：一个毫无疑问的不育因素

根据一项旨在呼吁开展全市防止生子成人教育新项目的报告，数百万澳洲人将发现生个小孩比他们或许的更为自知了，甚至有些人实际上就很自知未婚了。 这个全市性未婚研究者看出，比率在30到39岁的人之中有88%的年长者和57%的男士显然自己没有未婚缺陷。 但是，他们错了。 生子就在我们身边——每六对侄女之中就有一对造成了生子困扰——因为从前人们要孩子的比率推迟，这样留给未婚的短时间减半。只有27%的男士在30岁以前生下第一个孩子，而30早先这个数字是92%。未婚比率推迟是生子的一个主要缺陷，想想看，一个男士在21岁时有最少1百万个卵细胞，但是到了27岁就只有大概150000个了。 主管新西兰未婚协会保护措施未婚力计划的Anne Clark反驳，比率对男士未婚力的影响依赖于着误读，而比率对年长者未婚力的影响则依赖于着更为多的误读。 在被调查结果的2400人之中，只有2%的人显然年长者生子是接受试管生殖治疗法的可能，没有人显然比率是随之而来生子的因素。但未婚协会反驳，年长者生子是谋求试管生殖治疗法的夫妻之中最常见的可能。 Clark 护士向联邦政治家们展示了未婚协会的研究者结果，这些政治家们专门组织了一个小组以推动一个国家未婚外交政策。 该小组一位叫Liberal MP Mal Washer的协作者把对生子的忽视形容为“一个国家的灾自知”，他反驳：“调查结果看出，一场关于未婚比率、孕妇以及其他诸如高血压等因素随之而来生子的全市成人教育战役接踵而来了”。 外科生殖地理学家Ian Fraser 得知政治家们抛开需要保护措施未婚率的外交政策不问道，政府部门在这个缺陷变得很严重的时候并未对一些未婚研究者做出正式重排。这包括Fraser博士2005年的一个报告，在该报告之中，Fraser博士介绍了很多关于年长者生子治疗法和社会所成人教育缺陷。 澳大利亚政府部门医务人员发言人Tony Abbott 问道，政府部门还在再考虑Fraser的报告“这个报告以及政府部门的对政府部门必定会在月末公布”。未婚研究者研究者反驳：就算人们发觉了比率对于未婚的影响，也不会对人们决定何时未婚孩子所致影响。 Clark护士问道：与一些流行的论调相反，选择晚生孩子并不是男士忙于她们的棒球员，而是谋求稳定的彼此间和经济保障。被调查结果的男士将棒球员可能遥遥领先了14个影响她们做出未婚小孩的决定因素的第13位，30岁时还没有小孩的男士之中有三分之一是因为她们没有异性恋。 Clark反驳，从前的社会制度变异迫使人们未婚小孩的比率推迟，任何成人教育活动都应该借此那些在30多岁试图未婚小孩，但经过6到12个月的尝试还很自知成功的侄女谋求努力。

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.
