目标:是繁殖力,测量为怀孕时间(TTP),
结论:延长TTP以剂量-反应方式与母亲和父亲死亡率增加相关。
背景:一些研究将男性和女性的繁殖力与死亡率联系起来。在女性中,不孕症与几种疾病有关,但是研究表明,潜在的条件,而不是不孕症,增加死亡率。
方法:对18796对孕妇进行了前瞻性队列研究,1973年至1987年期间,孕妇在初级和三级护理单位接受了预防性产前护理。从孩子的出生日期到死亡或直到2018年,丹麦的死亡率登记册都对这对夫妇进行了跟踪。随访期长达47年,有完整的随访直到死亡,移民或研究结束。
方法:在第一次产前检查时,孕妇被要求报告当前怀孕的时间。纳入仅限于第一次怀孕,TTP分为<12个月,≥12个月,没有计划,和不可用。在子分析中,TTP≥12进一步分为12-35、36-60和>60个月。父母的信息与丹麦的几个全国卫生登记处有关。生存分析用于估计风险比(HR),95%CI为生存率,并在第一次尝试怀孕时调整年龄。出生年份,社会经济地位,母亲在怀孕期间吸烟,和母亲的BMI。
结果:患有TTP的母亲和父亲>存活60个月,分别,与TTP<12个月的父母相比,短3.5年(95%CI:2.6-4.3)和2.7年(95%CI:1.8-3.7)。与TTP<12个月的父母相比,TTP≥12个月的父亲(HR:1.21,95%CI:1.09-1.34)和母亲(HR:1.29,95%CI:1.12-1.49)的死亡率更高。研究期间全因死亡的风险以剂量反应方式增加,父亲的校正HR最高为1.98(95%CI:1.62-2.41),母亲的校正HR最高为2.03(95%CI:1.56-2.63)TTP>60个月。长期的TTP与父亲和母亲的几种不同的死亡原因有关,这表明繁殖力和生存之间关系的根本原因可能是多因素的。
结论:限制是使用基于妊娠的方法来测量生育力。因此,该队列以生育成功为条件,不包括不育夫妇,不成功的尝试和自然流产。当孕妇第一次接受预防性产前护理时,这个问题用来衡量TTP:“从你想要怀孕到怀孕发生的时候,多少时间过去了?\'如果妇女没有及时回答开始无保护的性交,而是在开始希望生孩子时,可能会导致严重的分类错误。
结论:我们发现TTP是一个强有力的生存标志,有助于仍然出现的证据表明,男性和女性的繁殖力反映了他们的健康和生存潜力。

OBJECTIVE: Is fecundity, measured as time to pregnancy (TTP), associated with mortality in parents?
CONCLUSIONS: Prolonged TTP is associated with increased mortality in both mothers and fathers in a dose-response manner.
BACKGROUND: Several studies have linked both male and female fecundity to mortality. In women, infertility has been linked to several diseases, but studies suggest that the underlying conditions, rather than infertility, increase mortality.
METHODS: A prospective cohort study was carried out on 18 796 pregnant couples, in which the pregnant women attended prophylactic antenatal care between 1973 and 1987 at a primary and tertiary care unit. The couples were followed in Danish mortality registers from their child\'s birth date until death or until 2018. The follow-up period was up to 47 years, and there was complete follow-up until death, emigration or end of study.
METHODS: At the first antenatal visit, the pregnant women were asked to report the time to the current pregnancy. Inclusion was restricted to the first pregnancy, and TTP was categorised into <12 months, ≥12 months, not planned, and not available. In sub-analyses, TTP ≥12 was further categorized into 12-35, 36-60, and >60 months. Information for parents was linked to several Danish nationwide health registries. Survival analysis was used to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) with a 95% CI for survival and adjusted for age at the first attempt to become pregnant, year of birth, socioeconomic status, mother\'s smoking during pregnancy, and mother\'s BMI.
RESULTS: Mothers and fathers with TTP >60 months survived, respectively, 3.5 (95% CI: 2.6-4.3) and 2.7 (95% CI: 1.8-3.7) years shorter than parents with a TTP <12 months. The mortality was higher for fathers (HR: 1.21, 95% CI: 1.09-1.34) and mothers (HR: 1.29, 95% CI: 1.12-1.49) with TTP ≥12 months compared to parents with TTP <12 months. The risk of all-cause mortality during the study period increased in a dose-response manner with the highest adjusted HR of 1.98 (95% CI: 1.62-2.41) for fathers and 2.03 (95% CI: 1.56-2.63) for mothers with TTP >60 months. Prolonged TTP was associated with several different causes of death in both fathers and mothers, indicating that the underlying causes of the relation between fecundity and survival may be multi-factorial.
CONCLUSIONS: A limitation is that fecundity is measured using a pregnancy-based approach. Thus, the cohort is conditioned on fertility success and excludes sterile couples, unsuccessful attempts and spontaneous abortions. The question used to measure TTP when the pregnant woman was interviewed at her first attended prophylactic antenatal care: \'From the time you wanted a pregnancy until it occurred, how much time passed?\' could potentially have led to serious misclassification if the woman did not answer on time starting unprotected intercourse but on the start of wishing to have a child.
CONCLUSIONS: We found that TTP is a strong marker of survival, contributing to the still-emerging evidence that fecundity in men and women reflects their health and survival potential.
