Variability in Human Fertility (Cambridge Studies in Biological and Evolutionary Anthropology, Series Number 19) - Softcover
Synopsis
Many wrongly believe that reproductive cycles are very similar among human females. In actuality, there are considerable variations among individuals and within the reproductive life of any given female. "Normal" reproductive cycles cover a wide range of examples, and the likelihood of successful monthly egg release and ensuing pregnancy can be modified by many factors. In this book, the variability of human fertility is examined by looking first at the physiological processes regulating reproduction. Interpopulation variation in normal ovarian function is then discussed, covering the importance of factors such as age and disease in the modification of ovarian function. The final part of this text covers issues of metabolic effects on reproduction. Researchers will welcome this definitive compilation of observations on fertility.

Book Description
Many people believe that there is great similarity in the reproductive cycle shown by one woman to the next. This book shows that 'normal' reproductive cycles covers a wide range of eventualities, and that the likelihood of successful monthly egg release and ensuing pregnancy is highly variable both between women and within an individual. The book discusses some of the factors which affect fertility such as diet, physical activity, stress and breast-feeding, and examines the implications of this for individuals and societies.
Review
"Each chapter addresses a different topic and includes a fine technical overview with plenty of references for further investigation...can be recommended to anyone with an interest in human fertility." Heidi D. Fain, Quarterly Review of Biology

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. It is widely believed that reproductive cycles are very similar between human females. However, there are in fact considerable variations both between individuals and within the reproductive life of any given individual. 'Normal' reproductive cycles cover a wide range of eventualities, and the likelihood of successful monthly egg release and ensuing pregnancy can be modified by a large number of factors. In this book, the variability of human fertility is examined by first looking at the physiological processes regulating reproduction, and the roles of metabolic adaptation and metabolic load. Inter-population variation in normal ovarian function is then discussed, covering the importance of factors such as age, disease and breastfeeding in modifying ovarian function. First published in 1996, this is an important book for all those interested in human fertility. 'Normal' reproductive cycles are extremely variable both between women and for any given individual. This book discusses some of the factors which affect fertility such as diet, physical activity, stress and breastfeeding, and examines the implications of this for individuals and societies.
