Some data on natural fertility
Abstract
Data on the natural fertility (complete absence of birth control) of 13 populations are examined with the study restricted to legitimate birthrates and those of unmarried women in a stable union. Very different fertility levels were found among these populations despite a similar pattern of fertility as it varies from 1 age group to another. Where the fertility rates for European populations are greater than for the non-European differences can be attributed to variation in birth spacing. It is hypothesized that differences in fertility level are either the result of variations in behavior related to resumption of sexual relations and the duration of lactation or to the differences of a physiological nature related to frequency and duration of anovulation during lactation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
