Hello, all.
I am planning to make a survey concerning toxoplasmosis and its influence on human society. To perform the survey I also need data about the first birth age of women (usual time for toxoplasma test) in different countries, since Toxoplasma prevalence grow with age. However I could not find such data about Iran. Even Google, UN and CIA together cannot shed light on this problem. Perhaps, I've missed something. Can anybody tell me, where I can find these data?
Thank you in advance,
Misha
Hello, David.
Thank you for your advice. Strange it is that I forgot about the WHO databases. Unfortunately, there is no data about maternal age ar first pregnance, but I decide to use mean age of childbearing (obtained here).
Nevertheless, there is so many interesting data on the WHO website. For instant, do you know the mean fertility rate per woman in Chad decreased from 6.85 children in 2011 to 6.8 in 2013? Looks like a serious demographic crisis!
All the best,
Misha

Just in case you are curious of a nearby country:
Slide number 11 shows the age of the mothers at first birth in Israel from 1994 to 2014- The general age rose from 25 to 27 (red line) in the past 10 years
The line for Moslems is light green (age 23 - 23.8)
Atheists is light blue 25 rose to 29 years old
Druze - purple, Christians- orange
Jews rose from 26-28 years old
Thank you very much, Judy!
Israel and Iran differ a bit, but data you've sent to me will be also very helpful.
Cheers,
Misha
No. Only the mean childbearing age.
