    Notes: Summary Although several studies have shown that reduced size at birth predicts glucose intolerance and insulin resistance in adult life, the relation has been inconsistent and usually stronger for ponderal index than for birthweight. We examined glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity (by the euglycaemic clamp method) in relation to size at birth in 709 men aged 69–73 years in Uppsala, Sweden. After adjusting for adult body mass index, prevalence of glucose intolerance (defined as diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance) was inversely related to birthweight. In men born at term, there was a positive monotonic relation of insulin sensitivity with birthweight, strongest in those who were overweight at age 70. This relation was reversed in men born before term (p = 0.005 for interaction between pre-term birth and birthweight effect). Glucose intolerance and insulin resistance showed inverted U-shaped relations with ponderal index, in contrast with the monotonic inverse relation seen in this cohort at earlier ages. This change in form of the relations was partly accounted for by selective loss to follow-up between ages 60 and 70 years. These results confirm that the association between reduced fetal growth and glucose intolerance is mediated through insulin resistance and depends upon an interaction with obesity in adult life. This relation is obscured when pre-term births are included. Failure to stratify by gestational age in previous studies could account for inconsistencies in the relations of insulin resistance and glucose intolerance to size at birth and for the detection of stronger associations with ponderal index than with birthweight.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Une enquête auprès des utilisatrices et du personnel de santé participant au programme de planning familial ISSS a fait ressortir l'intérêt que suscitait l'inclusion d'une préparation administrée par injection une fois par mois en tant que méthode contraceptive offerte par cette institut. Le produit contenant 150 mg d'acétophénide de dihydroxyprogestérone (DHPA)+10 mg d'énanthate d'oestradiol (E2EN) a été choisi pour mener une étude ouverte et prospective en vue de déterminer dans quelle mesure il était efficace et tolérable. Entre janvier 1992 et mars 1994, 7.054 femmes ont été traitées avec ce produit, correspondant à un total de 60.010 mois. Constituées en groupe échantillon, 4.505 femmes ont fréquenté l'institut, nous permettant de confirmer qu'en moyenne les utilisatrices étaient jeunes, avaient un ou deux enfants, ne correspondaient pas à une distribution géographique particulière et choisissaient l'injection mensuelle comme première méthode contraceptive ou après la période puerpérale, de préférence aux contraceptifs oraux. Le produit étudié s'est avéré hautement efficace (indice de Pearl 0,018) et tolérable (taux de retrait général pendant la durée de l'étude: 27,09%). Les effets négatifs les plus fréquents comprenaient des troubles de saignements, des céphalées et des mastalgies; ces troubles diminuaient spontanément à partir du sixième mois (3,9%), cessant totalement après deux ans. Le traitement a été abandonné par 3,47% des femmes à cause d'effets négatifs. Aucun changement significatif n'a été observé ni dans le poids corporel, ni dans la pression sanguine systolique et diastolique. Sur la base de ces résultats, le contraceptif mensuel injectable a été inclus dans la liste des produits de base de l'ISSS.
    Abstract: Resumen Un estudio entre usuarias y personal de atención de la salud del Programa de Planificación Familiar ISSS indicó interés en incluir una preparación mensual inyectable como método anticonceptivo ofrecido por dicha institución. La formulación que contenía 150 mg de acetofenida de dihidroxiprogesterona (DHPA) y 10 mg de enantato de estradiol (E2EN) fue elegida para realizar un estudio prospectivo abierto sobre eficacia y tolerabilidad. Entre enero de 1992 y marzo de 1994, se trató a 7.054 mujeres con este producto durante un total de 60.010 meses. Una muestra compuesta de 4.505 mujeres atendidas en dicho instituto permitió confirmar que las usuarias medias son jóvenes, tienen uno o más hijos, no señalan ninguna distribución geográfica en particular y eligen la inyección mensual en vez de los anticonceptivos orales como primer método anticonceptivo o para el puerperio. La formulación estudiada registró una alta tasa de eficacia (Indice de Pearl: 0,018) y tolerabilidad (tasa general de interrupción durante el estudio: 27,09%). Los acontecimientos adversos más frecuentes comprendieron perturbaciones de sangrado, dolor de cabeza y mastalgia; su incidencia disminuyó espontáneamente a partir del sexto mes (3,9%), reduciéndose al 0% al cabo de dos años. El tratamiento fue abandonado debido a acontecimientos adversos por el 3,47% de las mujeres. No se observó ningún cambio significativo del peso corporal o de la tensión arterial sistólica o diastólica. En base a estos resultados, el anticonceptivo inyectable mensual se incluyó en la lista básica de productos del ISSS.
    Notes: Abstract A survey among users and health personnel participating in the Salvadorian Social Security Institute (ISSS) Family Planning Program revealed interest in including a monthly preparation for injection as a contraceptive method offered by this Institution. The formulation containing dihydroxyprogesterone acetophenide (DHPA) 150 mg + estradiol enantate (E2EN) 10 mg was chosen for conducting an open and prospective study of efficacy and tolerability. Between January 1992 and March 1994, 7054 women were treated with this product for a total of 60010 months. A sample composed of 4505 women treated at this Institution confirmed that average users are young, have one or two children, do not show a particular geographical distribution and choose the monthly injection instead of oral contraceptives as the first contraceptive method or for the puerperium. The study formulation showed a high efficacy (Pearl Index: 0.018) and tolerability (general withdrawal rate throughout the study: 27.09%). The most frequent adverse events included bleeding disorders, headache and mastalgia; their incidence decreased spontaneously from the sixth month (3.9%), reaching 0% after two years. Treatment was discontinued due to adverse events in 3.47% of women. No significant bodyweight or systolic and diastolic blood pressure alterations were observed. Based on these results, the monthly injectable contraceptive was included in the basic product list at ISSS.
