• Abstract: Fertility involves physiological conditions, economic level and socio-cultural factors, which have an important impact on the parents' physical and mental health. In addition to the direct physical pain (pregnancy complications, pelvic floor dysfunction, etc.) caused by childbearing and the comprehensive physical and psychological discomfort (such as postpartum fatigue and postpartum depression) caused by short-term role change and family structure change, economic factors (such as the change of parents' economic status, the cost of children's marriage, etc.) and socio-cultural factors (such as "more happiness comes with more offspring", "bring sons to support parents in their old age", "The mother's honor increases after her son’s birth "and " skip-generation raising) also have an impact on the physical and mental health of parents after childbirth. Future research should pay more attention to gender and cultural differences, three-dimensional analysis(time, gender and quantity) of reproductive behavior, the impact of modern society on reproductive culture and the improve measures to parents' physical and mental health. 生育行为涉及生理条件、经济水平以及社会文化等因素，对个体的身心健康有重要影响。除了生育子女带来的直接的身体伤痛（妊娠并发症、盆底功能障碍性疾病等）以及短时间角色转变和家庭结构改变带来的综合性的生理心理不适（如产后疲乏和产后抑郁）之外，经济因素（如父母经济地位变化、子女结婚花费等）和社会文化因素（如“多子多福”“养儿防老”“母凭子贵”以及隔代抚养等）也会对生育后父母的身心健康产生影响。未来研究主要方向应聚焦于性别和文化差异、从生育行为三维度（时间、性别和个数）的分析、现代社会对生育文化的冲击以及改善父母身心健康的举措。
