PubHealth.info® (a subsidiary of PakMed) presents scientific information mainly based on abstracts of articles published on a variety of public health issues/topics, particularly encompassing population planning, disease prevention, maternal and child health, and communicable and non-communicable diseases (like HIV AIDS, malaria, etc) that are affecting a significant portion of population in developing and developed countries. Here you can find abstracts of articles published on a variety of public health topics under category "Contraception (Birth Control) and Family Planning". Contraception (birth control) is a regimen of one or more actions, devices, or medications followed in order to deliberately prevent or reduce the likelihood of a woman becoming pregnant or giving birth. Therefore contraception is the utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices, practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception or impregnation (pregnancy). Methods and intentions typically termed birth control may be considered a pivotal ingredient to family planning. Birth control is a controversial political and ethical issue in many cultures and religions, and although it is generally less controversial than abortion specifically.

ABSTRACT

This paper analyzed the mean of serum lipid and blood pressure, prevalence rates and risks of hyperlipemia and

hypertension in 999 healthy rural women who had been taking Chinese No. 1 contraceptive pill for 5-25 years. Data

was compared with those in 1 065 control subjects wearing IUDs in a series of cohort studies. The results showed

that the level of serum triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein (HDL) and hyperglyceridemia

prevalence rate after long-term administration of contraceptive pill were significantly higher than that in control

subjects (P<0.01), which hypercholesterolemia prevalence rate did not increase significantly. The mean of systolic

pressure and diastolic pressure in taking-pill group were 6.57 mmHg and 3.24 mmHg (1mmHg=0.133322kPa)

respectively, higher than that of control group, but still, maintained in the normal range. The prevalence rates of

systolic hypertension and diastolic hypertension were higher than that of control group (P<0.01). The results of

multiple regression analysis suggested that long-term administration of Chinese No. 1 contraceptive pill had no

marked influence on female hyperlipemia and hypertension after dispelling the effects caused by confounding

factors. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT2T 2592-06)
