The researchers examined the prevalence and correlates of adverse reproductive health outcomes among two cohorts of married women in Nigeria based on the 2018 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey. A weighted sample size of 8,704 and 6,076 women were analyzed respectively for the child and delayed marriage cohorts. Our results showed differences in adverse reproductive health outcomes by marriage cohorts with higher prevalence in the child marriage cohort and also differences in the correlates of adverse reproductive health outcomes. Strategies to promote the uptake of reproductive health services, gender equity and women's empowerment across the different marriage cohorts are required.
