年龄：一个被忽视的子代因素

根据一项旨在呼吁积极参与全国防止不育高等教育建设项目的调查报告结果，数百万澳洲人将发现生个女孩比他们想象的不够难了，甚至有些人根本就无法生孩子了。 这个地区性生孩子深入研究显示，成年在30到39岁的人中有88%的男性和57%的男性认为自己没有生孩子疑问。 但是，他们难为了。 不育就在我们身边——每六对前夫中就有一对遭受不育困扰——因为直到现在人们要孩子的成年应在，这样留给生孩子的时间有所增加。只有27%的男性在30岁以前生下第一个孩子，而30在此之前这个数字是92%。生孩子成年应在是不育的一个主要疑问，想想看，一个男性在21岁时有超过1百万个卵细胞，但是到了27岁就只有左右150000个了。 主管澳大利亚生孩子协会保护生孩子力计划的Anne Clark反驳，成年对男性生孩子力的阻碍存在着误解，而成年对男性生孩子力的阻碍则存在着不够多的误解。 在被调查报告的2400人中，只有2%的人认为男性不育是接受玻璃管卵子病人的状况，没人认为成年是避免不育的环境因素。但生孩子协会反驳，男性不育是谋求玻璃管卵子病人的俩人中最常见的状况。 Clark 眼科医生向联邦活动家们展示了生孩子协会的深入研究结果，这些活动家们专门秘密组织了一个工作组以推动一个国家所生孩子税制。 该工作组一位叫Liberal MP Mal Washer的协作者把对不育的显然眼中为“一个国家所的灾难”，他反驳：“调查报告显示，一场关于生孩子成年、吸烟以及其他诸如老年人等环境因素避免不育的全国高等教育战争迫在眉睫了”。 临床受精学家Ian Fraser 告诉他活动家们舍弃需要保护生孩子率的税制不时说，英国政府在这个疑问越来越很严重的时候未能对一些生孩子深入研究这两项迟至反应。这包括Fraser系主任2005年的一个调查报告结果，在该调查报告结果中，Fraser系主任介绍了很多关于男性不育病人和价值观大众高等教育疑问。 州英国政府卫生部发言人Tony Abbott 时说，英国政府还在考虑Fraser的调查报告结果“这个调查报告结果以及英国政府的决策将会在年初公布”。生孩子深入研究深入研究反驳：就算人们告诉他了成年对于生孩子的阻碍，也才会对人们决定何时生孩子孩子引致阻碍。 Clark眼科医生时说：与一些风靡一时的看法相反，选择晚生孩子并不是男性忙于她们的职业，而是谋求稳定的关系和经济发展应有。被调查报告的男性将职业状况领跑了14个阻碍她们这两项生孩子女孩的直接影响的第13位，30岁时还没有女孩的男性中有三分之一是因为她们没有家庭成员。 Clark反驳，直到现在的价值观变化迫使人们生孩子女孩的成年应在，任何高等教育举办活动都应该鼓励那些在30多岁试图生孩子女孩，但经过6到12个月的尝试还无法获得成功的前夫谋求协助。

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.
