Pic out the main points or the first four sentences.
Reproductive health is a crucial part of general health and a
central feature of human development. It is a reflection of health
during childhood, and crucial during adolescence and adulthood,
sets the stage for health beyond the reproductive years for both
women and men, and affects the health of the next generation. The
health of the newborn is largely a function of the mother's health
and nutrition status and of her access to health care.
Reproductive health is a universal concern, but is of special
importance for women particularly during the reproductive years.
Although most reproductive health problems arise during the
reproductive years, in old age general health continues to reflect
earlier reproductive life events. Men too have reproductive health
concerns and needs though their general health is affected by
reproductive health to a lesser extent than is the case for women.
However, men have particular roles and responsibilities in terms of
women's reproductive health because of their decision-making powers
in reproductive health matters.
At each stage of life individual needs differ. However, there
is a cumulative effect across the life course ş events at each
phase having important implications for future well-being. Failure
to deal with reproductive health problems at any stage in life sets
the scene for later health and developmental problems.
The significance of reproductive health is:
1. It prevents STDs
2. It lessens mental and physical strain on a woman's health.
3. It reduces the cases of maternal mortality and mortality among newborns.
4. It provides advantage of small families.
