(4) Comparative data from other countries confirm that the study area has very low levels of fertility and marriage, a very high prevalence of induced abortion, and a small effect of lactational infecundability.
(5) Residence in Shewa increased the risk of infecundity by 2.16 in comparison to residence in an eastern region.
(6) The effects of 2 other proximate determinants, lactational infecundability and spousal separation, were negligible (even though spousal separation was especially considered, on the belief that it is strongly affected by employment patterns).
(7) Characterization of a group of dominant second chromosome suppressor of position-effect variegation (PEV) (Su(var)) mutants has revealed a variety of interesting properties, including: maternal-effect suppression of PEV, homozygous lethality or semilethality and male-specific hemizygous lethality, female infecundity, acute sensitivity to the amount of heterochromatin in the cell and sensitivity to sodium butyrate.
(8) The decline in fertility may be due to several factors: deferred marriage; increase in divorces and husband-wife separations; high fetal wastage; voluntary fertility control through contraception, abstention, or induced abortion; and infecundability.
(9) The proportion infecund among ever-married women declined with age, from 11.5% among women over age 55, 7.4% among those 45-54, to 5% among women aged 30-44 years.
(10) Abortion (.832) and infecundability (.852) had minimal effects on fertility reduction.

(12) On the basis of the incidence of infecundity, four regional groups were formed--western (Welega, Ilubabor, Kefa, and Sidamo), Shewa, Welo, and eastern (Harerge, Bale, and Arsi), representing very high, high, moderate, and low incidences, respectively.
(13) The 6 regions that comprise this belt had infecundity rates in excess of 8%.
(14) The 1978 World Fertility Survey (WFS) and the 1986 Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) data are used to examine the relative contributions of three proximate determinants (nuptiality or marriage, contraception and post-partum infecundability) to fertility change in Senegal.
(15) The changes in fertility levels from Phase 1 to Phase 4 generally indicate that the transition from natural to controlled fertility is characterized by declines in the proportions of women married and the duration of postpartum infecundability, and a substantial increase in the prevalence and effectiveness of contraceptive practices.
(16) To test the relative significance of these factors, logistic regression analyses were performed using the incidence of infecundity among women 40-59 years of age as the dependent variable.
(17) However, the index of contraceptive use exerts the least impact on fertility reduction while that of post-partum infecundability makes the strongest impact on fertility.
(18) Total average interval between births is 36 months; about 18 months are solely due to breastfeeding, the remaining months to combined effects of gestation, waiting time to conception, intrauterine mortality and post-partum infecundability.
(19) Direct evidence on age patterns of infecundity and sterility cannot be obtained from contemporary populations because such large fractions of couples use contraception or have been sterilized.
