  • Age-specific Differences in the Relationship between Oral Contraceptive Use and Breast Cancer

    Phyllis A Wingo, Nancy C Lee et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1991

    Background Nearly all studies have suggested that the use of oral contraceptives (OC) is not associated with the aggregate risk of breast cancer diagnosed in women aged 20-54 years. Because of age-specific differences in the breast cancer-parity relationship and because of age-specific differences in other breast cancer risk factors, the Centers for Disease Control reexamined data from the Cancer and Steroid Hormone Study (CASH) to assess whether…

  • Menstrual Changes after Tubal Sterilization

    Frank DeStefano, Carlos M Huezo et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1984

    The authors used data from a multicenter prospective study of female sterilization surgery to study changes in menstrual function following tubal sterilization. Duration of menstrual bleeding, menstrual cycle length, cycle regularity, amount of menstrual bleeding, menstrual pain, and intermenstrual bleeding were examined. The authors followed 2456 women for two years after tubal sterilization surgery. Each woman served as her own control; her men…

  • Mortality among young black women using contraceptives

    Howard W Ory, George L Rubin et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1984

    Data on the risk of death associated with various contraceptive methods are incomplete. Therefore, we analyzed the mortality rates for young, black inner-city women who used one of four methods of contraception—oral contraceptives, depomedroxyprogesterone acetate, intrauterine (contraceptive) devices, and barrier methods. The subjects were 30,580 15-to 44-year-old women who enrolled at a family planning clinic between 1967 and 1972 and who were o…

  • Demographic trends in tubal sterilization

    Frank DeStefano, J R Greenspan et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1982References: 2

    In the period 1970-1977, an estimated 4,236,000 women 15-44 years of age had tubal sterilization operations in United States hospitals. Both the number and the rate of tubal sterilizations increased each year from 1970-1977, but in 1978 both declined. Tubal sterilization rates for Black women were higher than for White women. Black women also tended to be younger at the time of tubal sterilization. For the nation as a whole, the mean age at the t…

  • Demographic trends of tubal sterilization in the United States 1970-75

    Peter M Layde, David Fleming et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1980Cited by: 4

    An estimated 2,300,000 women in the United States underwent tubal sterilizations in 1970-1975. During this period the rate of tubal sterilizations per 1,000 women 15-44 years of age rose from 4.7 to 11.7. We studied the influence on sterilization trends of four demographic variables: age, region of residence, race, and marital status. Women 25-34 years of age were twice as likely to be sterilized as older or younger women. Rates were about 40 per…
