To identify the reproductive timing, intensity,and rhythm of the Embera, (Eyabida, Dobida, and Chamibidasubgroups) and Zenues ethnic groups. Material andMethods. A sociodemographic study was conducted during1996-1997 in Antioquia, Colombia, on a non-randompopulation sample, stratified by ethnic group, to comparereproductive behaviors within and between these ethnicgroups. Statistical analysis for independent samples wasconducted using the software program Epi-Info. Analysisincluded the Student?s t test for difference of means, andthe chi-squared test for difference of proportions. Results.Reproductive behavior was characterized by ages at firstintercourse of 14.5 and 15.8 years; the average interval beforepregnancy was 1 to 1.3 years, followed by 48% to 73.3%of short-spaced intergenesic intervals. Reproductive stresswas 50% during reproductive life, reaching an acceleratedrhythm at 30 -34 years of age, with a high fecundity ratioaveraging 10.5 births, except for the better educated Chamibidathat had 4 births on average. Conclusions. Mainstreamhealth policies directed at controlling birthrates arefar from appropriate because they do not take into accountthe specific reproductive behaviors of these ethnic groups.The English version of this paper is available at: http://www.insp.mx/salud/index.html 2001 artículo científico 0036-3634 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=10643405 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=106 Salud Pública de México application/pdf Instituto Nacional de Salud Pública Salud Pública de México (México) Num.4 Vol.43 |
