Figure 11.4.3: Pregnancies by age group
Rate per 1,000 females, Middlesex-London, 2006 to 2016
Pregnancy rates among women aged 30 to 34 were the highest in Middlesex-London from 2006 to 2016, followed by women aged 25 to 29. However, rates for both age groups decreased during this period. For example, for women aged 30 to 34, rates dropped from 115.0 per 100,000 in 2006, to 103.8 per 100,000 in 2016.
From 2006 to 2010, the third and fourth highest pregnancy rates were among women aged 20 to 24 and 35 to 39, respectively. The two age groups have switched rankings since 2014 as pregnancy rates in women aged 20 to 24 decreased, and those in the older age group increased.
While pregnancy rates among women aged 34 or less decreased from 2006 to 2016, those among women aged 35 to 44 increased during this period.
