[Medical-demographic characteristics of certain family types]

A prospective observation over 347 families formed through creating a new family with a new partner from among incomplete families. A total of 195 families of the above figure were formed by single mothers (103--divorced, 49--widowed). The study results showed that only 62.5% of women got married for the second time the others preferred to live temporarily together. 55% of women gave birth to common children with new partners. A number of specific features were detected, the main of which are the relations between the members of newly created families and their relatives. The nature of psychological relations in such families has an essential influence on the reproductive policy and on the health condition of their members.
