The period of adolescence, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), comprises the age group from 10 and 19, and in the world, this group represents 16% of the total population, and in Brazil this proportion is estimated to be 25%, approximately.1-2
Adolescence is defined as a transitional phase between childhood and adulthood, consisting of intense physical, psychological, cognitive, and social changes. During this process the individual is immersed in a universe of bodily, sexual, social and cultural discoveries, seeking means to achieve his autonomy and independence in adult life.3
At this moment of intense modifications, development is also acquired by the release of hormones that are going to unleash puberty and the process of sexual maturation, resulting in the appearance of secondary sexual characteristics, like the sprout breast enlargement, appearance of pubic hair, bodily odor, change in voice and in the shape of the body. In this phase, physiological immaturity and incomplete development of the pelvis and uterus are still present, which signals that the adolescent is not prepared for a possible pregnancy.4
Adolescent pregnancy is characterized by several social, economic, psychological and biological implications, and carries with it morbidity and mortality risks since adolescent mothers have greater chances for short-term health complications, adverse social outcomes, unsafe abortion, and sexually transmitted infections (STI), making maternal age an important determinant for gestational risk.5
Adolescents who are pregnant have fewer prenatal visits, more absenteeism, more premature births, greater frequency of low-weight newborns, besides social implications such as low school performance or even dropping out of studies, which will lead to difficulties in inclusion in the labor market.6-7
Literature suggests that adolescent pregnancy is due to multiple causes that can be justified by the onset of early sexual activity, deficiencies in education regarding sexuality, since this subject is still considered a taboo subject for many families, restriction on the availability of contraceptive methods, lack of adolescent-oriented health services, early menarche, urban lifestyle and some vulnerability factors that are also closely related.8
In this context, health professionals play an important role in the prevention of adolescent pregnancy, through multifaceted educational activities that not only promote behavioral changes, addressing from the valuation of adolescent autonomy, their knowledge and experiences, but also disseminating information regarding the use of contraceptive methods and their availability in health services.9
Epidemiological data indicate that among the 7.3 million pregnant adolescents in the world, two million are under 14 years of age and the rates of morbidity and mortality reach 70 thousand deaths caused by problems during pregnancy and/or childbirth.10 In Brazil, between the years 2015 to 2019 there was a total of 2,405,248 pregnant adolescents in the country, with the northeast region the most prevalent, representing 33.7% of this total, followed by the southeast region with 31,7%.11 The pregnancy rate in adolescents in the country is higher than the world average, in which out of every one thousand adolescents aged between 15 and 19 years, 62 had a delivery..
Therefore, since the number of pregnant adolescents is worrying, mainly because their outcomes are more unfavorable, and since health professionals have an important role in preventing and promoting health, the present study aims to analyze the sociodemographic profile of pregnant adolescents in Brazil from 2015 to 2019.
This is a descriptive cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach. To survey the data, information from a secondary source was used from the Information Technology Department of the Unified Health System (DATASUS) of the Information System on Live Births (SINASC), and material variables were collected that were of interest for the present research. Data from pregnant adolescents aged 10 to 19 years were analyzed between 2015 and 2019.
Inclusion criteria were adolescents aged 10 to 19 years, Brazilian, who were pregnant in the given period. Data collection took place between August and October 2021. The analysis included sociodemographic variables such as: Age/Age group; Color/Race; Marital status/Marital situation; Maternal Schooling/Education and pregnancy-related: type of pregnancy, type of delivery, place of occurrence, duration of pregnancy and prenatal visits. For the construction of the database, the Microsoft Excel program was used, with double typing and subsequent analysis of absolute and relative frequencies (%).
Because this study was based on secondary data from DATASUS, with no individual population identification, and according to Resolution No. 510 of 2016 of the National Health Council, this study did not require an evaluation of the system of the Research Ethics Committee/National Council for Ethics and Research (CEP/CONEP).
From 2015 to 2019, 2,405,248 pregnant adolescents aged 10 to 19 years were registered. Of this total, the majority of pregnancies occurred in girls aged 15 to 19 years (95.2%), brown (65.4%), single (64.9%) and who had 8 to 11 years of education (66.9%), as shown in Table 1.

Figure 2 presents the temporal distribution of the number of pregnant adolescents, divided by age group in the selected years, showing that adolescent pregnancy has shown a decrease over the years.
Teenage pregnancy is marked by intense challenges, taking into consideration that a pregnancy can have repercussions throughout life. In this context, analyzing the sociodemographic characteristics, this study presented prevalence of higher pregnancy in the age group between 15 and 19 years, corroborating another study, in which 68.5% of pregnant adolescents were between 17 and 19 years old.13 Although in this age group the adolescent already has biological capacity for reproduction, there is still psychic unpreparedness for sexual and parental exercise, which contributes to an unwanted pregnancy. Besides biological risks, there are also social implications, such as impoverishment of schooling, work and income, contributing to a greater chance of propensity to poverty.14
Another relevant data identified in a study in the city of Rio de Janeiro is that one third of these adolescents have a new pregnancy 12 months after their last delivery15 and most of these were unwanted or unplanned. The "Birth in Brazil Survey" showed that for every 10 pregnant adolescents, seven did not desire pregnancy.16
In relation to color/race, most adolescents were brown, based on a survey found in the literature.17 In addition, a survey conducted in Brazil identified that the colors of brown and black skin were related to inadequate schooling among adolescents, lower number of prenatal visits and late start of care.18 The same authors17 also pointed out differences related to the type of service used for prenatal care, in that 93.9% of black adolescents were attended by the services belonging to the Unified Health System (SUS). As to marital status, more than half were unmarried, a fact that validates another study,19 carried out in Colombia, in which 64.4% of adolescent pregnant women were also unmarried. Often, the construction of a family indicates an improvement in the quality of life, but the marital relationship motivated by an early pregnancy does not imply financial independence.20
In terms of years of education, a study found in the literature showed that most adolescents have less than 8 years of schooling,21 differing from the results of this study. School dropout is due to the difficulty in reconciling studies with motherhood, either by taking care of children or by the difficulty of moving around at night. Abandonment of studies compromises better employment opportunities resulting in a continuous cycle of poor education and poverty.6 Other authors related the incidence of pregnant adolescents to low schooling, noting a deficiency in the education system and/or health actions, as far as sexual and reproductive education is concerned.22
Faced with this scenario, another study points out that family neglect and poverty are closely related to the vulnerability of adolescents in becoming pregnant being victims of sexual abuse.23 The repercussions for these victims include, mainly, psychological factors associated with trauma, referring to self-destructive and alarming behaviors. In addition, the low adherence to prenatal care by adolescents becomes a risk factor both for pregnancy and for the favoring of negative repercussions for newborns, such as low percentages in birth weight and 1st minute Apgar.24
Considering the variables related to pregnancy, it was demonstrated that the majority of adolescents had a single pregnancy and the type of delivery was vaginal, which corroborated another study.21 Authors of a study describe the relationship between the type of delivery and low purchasing power, with cesarean delivery being more present in adolescents of high economic class, with presence of clinical history of risks and interoccurrences in pregnancy.25
With regard to the place of occurrence, the hospital obtained a higher percentage, agreeing with another investigation.26 This may be justified by the fact that this health place is prepared to receive women from different social extracts, and it is up to the SUS to offer a support system to all pregnant women.27 In this perspective, being a high risk pregnancy, the SUS, in its attributions, is prepared to welcome these mothers from basic care to specialized health services such as outpatient clinics and hospitals, keeping itself informed about the evolution of pregnancy and the diligence towards the pregnant woman.
As for the duration of pregnancy, the majority of adolescents went to term, between 37 and 41 weeks. Theoretical models show that events such as hypertension, eclampsia, bleeding, amniotic fluid volume change, diabetes mellitus, and infection in the genital tract have direct effects on gestational age, in addition to other factors such as mother's age, late prenatal onset, and unsatisfactory frequency of visits.29
In relation to the number of prenatal visits, in this study, the majority carried out seven or more consultations, which corroborates the recommendations of the Ministry of Health that recommends at least six consultations.7 Study points out that socioeconomic variables such as low schooling, economic class, alcohol and/or drug use, and unwanted pregnancy negatively influence the frequency of consultations, which directly impacts negative outcomes such as prematurity.29 The prenatal care consists of ensuring the good development of pregnancy, aiming at reducing maternal and child morbidity and mortality rates, offering conditions of birth with the least possible negative impact.
From this perspective, it is indispensable that health professionals, and in particular the nurse, understand the meanings of this phenomenon, establishing relationships with humanized care and with the valuation of the adolescent at this moment experienced, from discovery to the puerperium. The development of educational actions in health with these young women, involving the sectors of education and health, could stimulate them to take on safe sexual practices with the possibility of a reduction in the level of unplanned pregnancies. 20
As a limitation of this study, it is pointed out that the database used does not allow the identification of each individual, which compromises some inferential statistical analyzes (mother's age, duration of pregnancy and prenatal consultation). Faced with this scenario, the data presented in this research demonstrate the importance and contribution of this theme in the area of public health, since it allows managers to know the sociodemographic variables of pregnant adolescents and to develop strategies and actions for minimizing pregnancy in adolescence and prevention of unfavorable outcomes, both for the mother and for the newborn. Although the temporal analysis shows a decrease in the number of pregnant adolescents, attention is needed on the subject, since the data are still worrying, making it important to carry out this and other researches involving the theme.
Adolescent pregnancy is a complex event in which attention to a pregnant woman's health must occur in a biopsychosocial context. In this sense, it is necessary to delineate the sociodemographic profile of these adolescents, since this information makes it possible to know the population under study and its conditions of vulnerability.
From the analysis of the data found in this study, it was possible to identify sociodemographic variables related to early pregnancy, for example, age between 15 and 19 years, being single and having brown skin color. In that respect, this study reiterates that pregnancy in this period is a health problem and should receive attention from managers for characterizing itself as a challenge for public policies, in which the nurse exercises a preponderant role through educational actions, active search and home visits to the adolescent public.
