- Abstract
Objective: To identify the prevalence and factors associated with abortion among users of basic health units. Methods: Cross-sectional epidemiological study of 991 women in 26 Basic Health Units. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test and Poisson regression with robust variance. Results: 24.3% of the women reported a history of abortion, being 2.35, higher among those 35 years of age or older. The prevalence of abortion was 1.58 higher among women who reported sexual violence in childhood and 1.61 times higher among those with a history of physical and sexual violence throughout life. Conclusion: Abortion experience is common among women, and certain socioeconomic and life characteristics may be associated with a higher prevalence of this event.
