Abstract

BackgroundWomen often have many reproductive health problems in developing countries. Economic and social factors play an important role in health outcomes. The purpose of this study was to determine the predictive impact of socioeconomic status on reproductive health in Ardabil women aged 35 to 70.MethodA cross-sectional study was performed on the population of women aged 35 to 70 years who participated in the Ardabil Persian cohort study. Out of 9,000 eligible populations, 368 participants were randomly included in the study. A checklist was used to collect all patient information from the Ardabil Persian Cohort Center. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, logistic regression and multivariate regression analysis.ResultsThe results showed that there was a significant statistical relationship between socioeconomic status and women reproductive health (p<0.001). Women with greater socioeconomic status had fewer reproductive health issues, such as infertility, tubectomy, abortion, stillbirth, atypical menopause, and hysterectomy.ConclusionsThe findings of the study indicated the relationship between socioeconomic status and women reproductive health. It should promote the health of women through fostering cross-sectoral collaboration and implementing government policies to empower and improve women's socioeconomic status.
