Un estudio de caso-control de 82 mujeres dominicanas residentes en zona urbana todas ellas con un niño desnutrido y 82 mujeres con un niño bien nutrido de la misma edad, sexo y lugar de residencia reveló que las mujeres del grupo de control tenían una paridad significativamente menor, así como también un número menor de hijos vivos. Más mujeres en el grupo de casos habían usado algún método anticonceptivo en algún momento que las mujeres del grupo de control. Sin embargo, la prevalencia de la práctica anticonceptiva resultó ser idéntica en los dos grupos. Más mujeres en el grupo de control habían tenido uno o más abortos, espontáneos o inducidos, que las del grupo de casos. Aunque las mujeres en los dos grupos fueron seleccionadas en los mismos barrios, hay evidencia que sugiere que las mujeres del grupo de control podrían haber tenido mayores ingresos familiares. Estos mayores ingresos podrían explicar, al menos de manera parcial, las diferencias en paridad entre los dos grupos; así como la diferencia en el estado nutricional de los niños en edad preescolar de las madres de ambos grupos.
A case-control study of 82 urban Dominican women with a malnourished child and 82 women with a well-nourished child of the same age, sex, and neighborhood of residence revealed that the women of the control group had significantly lower parity and also had fewer living children. More women in the case group had used contraception at one time. Nevertheless, the prevalence of current contraceptive use was identical in the two groups. More women in the control group had undergone one or more spontaneous of induced abortions. Although the women in both groups were selected from the same neighborhoods, there is evidence to suggest that the women in the control group may have had higher family incomes. The higher incomes could well account, at least in part, for the difference in parity between the two groups as well as for the difference in nutritional status in the preschool children of the mothers of these groups.
