Also, upon comparing the reproductive calendar of the Embera Eyabida women in this study to that reported by Valencia et al. for a community also from the west of Antioquia and from the same Embera subgroup, it was found that the ages of menarche and union with a partner are similar in both studies; however, differences of over one year occur in the events of pregnancy and childbirth for the women from the present study.
Lo anterior amerita un análisis posterior y detallado que dé cuenta de las causas de estas diferencias, que no pueden explicarse sólo a partir de las mayores proporciones en el uso de métodos anticonceptivos: 58% para Embera Eyabida de Nusidó del estudio de Valencia frente a 30.2% en Eyabida de este estudio.
