Objective: To explore women's health status and the factors influencing women's health in Beijing, China. Methods:Using the data of the 3th national survey on the status of Chinese women in 2010, 1386 women in Beijing was selected as a sample. Statistical analysis was done by SPSS version 19 including Chi-square test and Multinomial Logistic regression.Results: 62.9% of women thought they had very good general health status. 21.5% of women suffered from chronic diseases. Women with physical disability was 2.7%. The prevalence rate of gynecological disease was 13.2%. 17.7% and 38.5% of women had experienced cesarean delivery and induced abortion respectively. The percent of pap smear and breast cancer screening was 87.8% and 88.5% among women in Beijing. Women's age had a significant association with chronic disease, gynecological disease, prenatal care, pap smear, breast screening, cesarean delivery, and induced abortion. Gender-based violence affected the rate of women's gynecological examination, prenatal care, and induced abortion. Conclusion:Women's health status and positive health behavior should be further improved in Beijing. Effective measures could be taken from two aspects of service providers and women to meet women's personalized health needs.

“…National‐level abortion data were collected differently in each country. For example, in New Zealand, a Notification of Abortion form is submitted for each procedure, 20 while in the US the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) requests data from the 52 central health agencies in the country 21 . In the UK, authorised medical practitioners are required to submit an Abortion Notification form (HSA4) to the Ministry of Health for each procedure; 19 similarly, in Finland a specific form is submitted for each procedure to the National Institute for Health and Welfare 22 .…”

Objective: A major public health challenge in Australia is the lack of national adolescent abortion data. This descriptive study identifies, collates and describes publicly available adolescent abortion data in high-income countries including Australia, to describe trends over 10 years and provide recommendations for strengthening data collection.Methods: Data were extracted from publicly available government sources that met inclusion criteria. All relevant adolescent abortion data from 2007 to 2017 were extracted from datasets and analysed.Results: Eleven high-income countries were included. Incidence data for the adolescent population were available for all countries and states. Incidence of adolescent abortion over 10 years shows a downward trend in all countries. Gestational age at time of abortion was the second-most available variable. The level and type of data across all countries varied; there was a lack of age range standardisation and aggregation of gestational weeks differed, making comparisons difficult. Conclusion:A minimum data set of standardised abortion information will enable appropriate adolescent abortion policies and services to be developed that are informed by high quality, up-to-date intelligence.Implications for public health: Availability of data affects government's ability to adequately monitor national adolescent health outcomes and plan and evaluate appropriate reproductive health policy and services.

Recently unintended pregnancies have been described as "a new kind of mid-life crisis." Given the high prevalence of unwanted or mistimed pregnancy in the US, we examined the sexual and reproductive health patterns of sexually active midlife women. An examination of the prevalence of unintended pregnancy among midlife women revealed a gap in data indicating unmet sexual and reproductive health needs of midlife women. The application of a framework for primary, secondary and tertiary prevention for unintended pregnancy may assist with guiding care for women and identifying implications for reproductive health policy and potential political interference as they relate to sexual and reproductive health in midlife women.
