“…This finding, associated with the lack of change in the reported rate of abortions in relation to 1993, suggests the use of effective birth control methods over this period. Indeed, population-based studies including women aged 15-49 years carried out in Pelotas have shown that the prevalence of the use of any birth control method was higher than that found in Brazil as a whole, with the pill and female sterilization being the methods most frequently reported 15,16,17 . Although the global rate of abortions has remained stable over the last eleven years, there was an increase among mothers in the 3.1-6 and > 10 times minimum wage brackets, among whom the highest decrease in parity was also observed.…”

Mothers from the 1982, 1993 and 2004 Pelotas birth cohorts were compared across biological, socioeconomic, demographic and reproductive characteristics. Women in the 2004 cohort had higher levels of education, gained more weight during pregnancy, and were heavier at the beginning and end of their pregnancy than mothers who gave birth in 1993 and 1982. There was an important increase in obesity rates (body mass index > 30kg/m²) over the 22 years of the study. Mean parity decreased from 1.3 in 1982 to 1.1 in 2004, with a growing proportion of primiparas and a decline in the proportion of women with > 4 children. The mean birth interval increased from 33.5 months in 1982 to 65.7 in 2004. Smoking during pregnancy decreased from 35.6% in 1982 to 25.1% in 2004. As with other characteristics, the change in smoking status differed according to income, with higher reductions among the wealthiest (from 24.9% to 8.7%) than among the poorest mothers (from 43.7% to 33.6%). In general terms, between 1993 and 2004 there was a decrease in the prevalence of maternal risk factors for unfavorable perinatal outcomes.

“…Correa et al 11 used data from a 2008 telephone landline survey of a population sample of women aged from 18 to 49 years who were living in the capitals of the 26 Brazilian states and in the Federal District and found that the prevalence of contraindicated use of oral contraceptives among these women was 12%. Furthermore, studies carried out in 1992 and 1999, using representative population-based samples of women aged between 20 and 49 years who were living in Pelotas found that, among users of contraceptive methods, 12.4% and 12.5% use contraindicated oral contraceptives, respectively 24 , 25 . These prevalences may have been due to the fact that those studies only evaluated a few contraindications (hypertension, smokers aged 35 years or over, diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease).…”

OBJECTIVE To describe the prevalence of contraindicated use of combined hormonal contraceptives, progesterone-only contraceptives, and intrauterine devices in mothers participating in the 2015 Pelotas Birth Cohort according to the WHO medical eligibility criteria. METHODS The biological mothers of children belonging to the 2015 Pelotas birth cohort who attended the 48-month follow-up were studied. The 48-month follow-up data were collected from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2019. Contraindicated use of modern contraceptives was considered to occur when these women presented at least one of the contraindications for the use of modern contraceptives and were using these methods. The prevalence of contraindicated use was calculated according to each independent variable and their respective 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). RESULTS The analyzed sample consisted of 3,053 women who used any modern contraceptive method. The prevalence of contraindicated use of modern contraceptives totaled 25.9% (95%CI: 24.4–27.5). Combined hormonal contraceptives showed the highest prevalence of contraindicated use (52.1%; 95%CI: 49.3–54.8). The prevalence of contraindicated use of modern contraceptives methods was greater in women with family income between one and three minimum wages, a 25–30 kg/m 2 body mass index, indication by a gynecologist for the used method, and purchasing the contraceptive method at a pharmacy. The higher the women’s education, the lower the prevalence of inappropriate use of modern contraceptives. CONCLUSION In total, one in four women used modern contraceptives despite showing at least one contraindication. Policies regarding women’s reproductive health should be strengthened.

“…Outros estudos realizados no Sudeste do País também mostram menor prevalência, embora muitos utilizem populações de menor nível socioeconô-mico 4,9 . O uso de métodos contraceptivos obtidos no presente estudo foi similar a resultados encontrados em outro estudo realizado em Pelotas, no ano de 1992 5 . A pílula e a esterilização como mé-todos mais prevalentes têm sido apontado em vários estudos 1, 2, 4, 5, 17 .…”

INTRODUÇÃO: A disponibilidade de dados sobre o perfil socioeconômico, demográfico e reprodutivo das mulheres tanto em nível nacional, regional e municipal permite comparações entre regiões além de oferecer subsídios para o planejamento de ações do Programa de Assistência Integral à Saúde da Mulher. MÉTODOS: Foi realizado um estudo transversal de base-populacional com uma amostra de 3.002 mulheres de 15 a 49 anos residindo na zona urbana da cidade de Pelotas, RS. As informações socioeconômicas, demográficas e reprodutivas foram obtidas através de um questionário estruturado. A análise foi realizada através da comparação estatística de médias e proporções. Na análise da esterilização os dados foram controlados para a idade. RESULTADOS: Cerca de 56% das mulheres eram casadas/em união e 35% solteiras. Um terço das mulheres eram donas-de-casa e 50% tinham trabalho remunerado. Cerca da metade das adolescentes tinham vida sexual ativa, e dessas, 33% já tinham estado grávidas. Observou-se elevado percentual de gravidez indesejada principalmente entre as jovens. O número médio de filhos entre as mulheres de 45 a 49 anos - final da vida reprodutiva - foi de 2,4. Os métodos contraceptivos mais prevalentes foram a pílula e a esterilização. Entre as mulheres casadas/em união, 15% estavam esterilizadas. Cerca de 25% das mulheres acima de 35 anos haviam feito ligadura tubária. Entre as mulheres esterilizadas, 29,6% tinham tido perda fetal e 18,3% haviam tido pelo menos um filho prematuro. Entre o total de maridos/companheiros, 20% não aceitavam o uso de pelo menos um método contraceptivo. CONCLUSÕES: Os resultados confirmam a necessidade de uma maior atenção e desenvolvimento de programas especiais para adolescentes, de melhorias no acesso aos serviços, de expansão do uso das opções anticoncepcionais disponíveis e de ações programáticas e pesquisas sobre o tema "homem/saúde reprodutiva".
