Abstract:

In front of the challenge of facing the maternal and perinatal morbimortality, the discussion on reproductive risk and its association to situations of health vulnerability is relevant to public health. The research carried out in Instituto Fernandes Figueira/Fiocruz had as its aims describing the reproductive risk profile of women enrolled in the prenatal care between 2006 and 2008 and investigating its relation to family income and health vulnerability situations. This is a transversal study which had the prenatal care database as its source. The economic profile of the group under study is a low income one. An association between low income and fetal malformations, pregnancy before 15 years of age, and HIV was found. A higher family income was associated to the mother’s age over 35 years, abnormal nuchal translucency, gynecopathies, and habitual abortion. The findings may reflect vulnerability situations of low income women, as unfavorable health conditions and limited access and use of health services. There’s a need to gain a deeper knowledge on the reproductive risk profile in Brazil and its distribution according to sociodemographic features, aiming to improve the assistance practices.
