“…Our findings corroborate those of McKinnon, Potter, and Garrard-Burnett (2008) and Verona and Dias Junior (2012), and reveal that young women who belonged to Pentecostal churches at the time of the interview were at a lower risk of engaging in adolescent premarital first sexual intercourse than those who belonged to the Catholic Church. In addition, the risk of premarital sexual initiation during adolescence was also lower among girls who currently attended religious services regularly as compared to those who never participated, even after demographic and socioeconomic variables, also measured at the time of the interview, were controlled.…”

“…It also notes that adolescents who belong to the Assembly of God, other Pentecostal Protestant, or other mainline Protestant churches are much more likely to be married than Catholics. More recently, Verona and Dias Junior (2012) found that adolescent females who showed higher attendance at religious services and belonged to Pentecostal churches at the time of the interview have lower risk of showing adolescent premarital fertility in 1996 and 2006, respectively.…”

Pentecostal denominations in Brazil are recognized for their promotion of conservative norms and punitive sanctions related to the sexual behavior of their young members. Moreover, they have created unique space for their followers to actively participate in a religious environment. Using data from the PNDS-2006 (National Survey on the Demography and Health of Children and Women, Pesquisa Nacional de Demografia e Saúde da Criança e da Mulher de 2006), we examine the associations, in Brazil between religion, as measured by religious affiliation and attendance at religious services, and premarital adolescent sexual initiation. Our main results confirm a strong association between delay in sexual initiation and Pentecostalism in Brazil and suggest that this association be related to frequent attendance at religious services. These findings are intriguing, especially because Pentecostalism has emerged and concentrated among socioeconomically disadvantaged populations, including the least-educated women, with lower income, and residents of urban areas. We conclude by suggesting that religion may be taking the place of family and school in communication on adolescent sexual behavior in Brazil. This hypothesis should be carefully investigated, since the religious teachings may sometimes be in favor of what families and the state see as beneficial for adolescents and youth in general, but sometimes in disaccord.

Objective: To analyze and compare perinatal outcomes of pregnant adolescent women and pregnant women in later age (between 20 and 34 years old) from data of a Live Born Information System. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out with data collected retrospectively of 18,009 live born infants from consults of data of a Live Born Information System. Registers of live born infants were distributed in three groups: group I (adolescents) -10 to 19 years old; group II -20 to 34 years old; and group III (later age) -35 years or older. Results: Findings showed that perinatal risks were related to prematurity (OR 1,35) and five-minute Apgar scores of less than seven (OR 1,44) among infants born to adolescent mothers. Conclusion: Results pointed out high indexes of preterm birth in low-birth-weight infants and five-minute Apgar scores of less than seven in pregnancies that occurred in adolescents and in women 35 years and older. ResumoObjetivo: Analisar e comparar os resultados perinatais de gestantes adolescentes e em idade tardia com mulheres entre 20 a 34 anos, a partir dos dados do Sistema de Informação de Nascidos Vivos. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo transversal, com coleta de dados retrospectiva de 18009 nascidos vivos a partir de consultas aos dados do Sistema de Informação de Nascidos Vivos. Os registros dos nascidos vivos foram distribuídos em três grupos: grupo I (adolescentes) -10 a 19 anos; grupo II -20 a 34 anos e grupo III (idade tardia) -35 anos ou mais. Resultados: Os resultados mostraram riscos perinatais relacionados à prematuridade (OR 1,35) e Apgar quinto minuto menor que sete (OR 1,44) em mães adolescentes. O baixo peso ao nascer apresentou risco de 1,22 e 1,24 vezes entre as gestantes do grupo I e III. Conclusão: Os resultados apontaram elevados índices de nascimento pré-termo, baixo peso ao nascer e Apgar no quinto minuto menor que sete nas gestações ocorridas em adolescentes e em mulheres com idade igual ou superior aos 35 anos.

Title in Portuguese: Caracterização dos níveis de fecundidade no Brasil, 1970-2010Abstract: We analyze the 1970, 1980, 1991, 2000, and 2010 Brazilian Demographic Censuses, in order to investigate the associated factors with a woman having had a live birth during the year prior to each census. We estimated logistic regression models for women aged 10–49 years. As independent variables, we selected region of residence, rural/urban location, presence of electricity, color/race, religion, marital status, labor market participation, time of residence in the municipality, information about whether they had a stillbirth, age, education, and parity. Our findings confirm that the probability a woman had a child is higher in the North and Northeast regions, as well as in households without electricity. Women that have a greater chance of having had a child are black/brown, Catholic, married, non-labor market participants, short-term migrants, experienced a stillbirth, between 20–29 years of age, have less education, and have higher parity. Patterns have been changing throughout time, thus posing questions for further analyses.Resumo: Analisamos os Censos Demográficos do Brasil de 1970, 1980, 1991, 2000 e 2010, com o objetivo de investigar os fatores associados com a mulher ter tido filho nascido vivo no ano anterior ao censo. Estimamos modelos de regressão logística para mulheres entre 10 e 49 anos. Como variáveis independentes, selecionamos região de residência, localidade rural/urbana, presença de eletricidade, cor/raça, religião, estado conjugal, participação no mercado de trabalho, tempo de residência no município, informação se a mulher teve um filho nascido morto, idade, educação e parturição. Nos resultados confirmam que a probabilidade da mulher ter tido um filho é maior nas regiões Norte e Nordeste, assim como em domicílios com eletricidade. Mulheres que tiveram maior chance de ter tido um filho são pretas/pardas, católicas, casadas, não participantes no mercado de trabalho, migrantes no curto prazo, tiveram filho nascido morto, estão entre 20 e 29 anos de idade, possuem baixa escolaridade e possuem mais filhos. Os padrões têm mudado ao longo do tempo, levantando importantes questões para análises futuras.
