Results: There was a significant relationship between the education
level of women, the number of pregnancies (R: -0.373,
P<0.001, confidence interval [CI] 95%: -0.44 to -0.29), the
number of birth (R: -0.327, p value < 0.001, CI 95%: -0.40 to
-0.25) and the number of children (R: -0.377, P<0.001, CI 95%:
