Objective-This report presents national estimates of the fertility of men and women aged 15-44 years in the United States in 2006-2010 based on the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG).Data are compared with similar measures for 2002.Methods-Descriptive tables of numbers, percentages, and means are presented and discussed.Data were collected through in-person interviews of a nationally representative sample of the household population aged 15-44 years in the United States between July 2006 and June 2010.The 2006-2010 NSFG sample is comprised of 22,682 respondents including 10,403 men and 12,279 women.The overall response rate for the 2006-2010 NSFG was 77%, 75% for men and 78% for women.Results-Many of the fertility measures among men and women aged 15-44 based on the 2006-2010 NSFG were generally similar to those reported based on the 2002 NSFG.The mean age at first child's birth for women was 23 and the mean age at first child's birth for men was 25.One-half of first births to women were in their 20s and two-thirds of first births were fathered by men who were in their 20s.On average, women aged 15-44 have 1.3 children as of the time of the interview.By age 40, 85% of women had had a birth, and 76% of men had fathered a child.In 2006-2010, 22% of first births to women occurred within cohabiting unions, up from 12% in 2002.These measures differed by Hispanic origin and race and other demographic characteristics.

Official medical statistics have been analysed corcerning overall urological morbidity in the Russian Federation (RF) and in some particular regions of the RF. The analysis covered morbidity and mortality from urogenital diseases including glomerular, tubulointersticial and other diseases of the kidneys and ureter, prostatic diseases, male infertility, cancer of the urinary bladder and prostatic gland. It was found that information on urological and oncourological morbidity in the literature is available but its amount is not satisfactory. It is necessary to introduce innovations in organization of medical statistical service, in registration of urological diseases, in particular. Active screening for urological cancer in the RF does not meet requirements and potentialities of modern health care. Special screening programs must be designed to reduce mortality and improve follow-up of urological patients.
