Such result of was survey conducted among the Australian students.
Most of respondents could not tell correctly at what age the fertility of women and men decreases. At the same time girls were more informed as for women’s reproductive function: 45% correctly named age of 35-39 years when the women fertility decreases.
Among men only 38% of respondents correctly could specify age of women fertility decrease.
As for knowledge of man health, here the situation was worse: only 16.9% of women and 18.3% of men correctly determined the age of 45-49 years as the period of decrease in male fertility.
At the same time authors of a research note that less than 10% of poll participants were not interested to have babies. And among those who wanted children 75% dreamed of two and more babies. However the vast majority of participants of poll are going to graduate from the university and to achieve career progress, and only then to become parents. Unfortunately, authors of a research warn, the set vital objects can prevent them to become parents at the most optimum reproductive age.
