A new report from the centers for disease control and prevention compares pregnancy rates from 1990 and 2004.

In 2004, 38 percent of pregnancies involved women under age twenty-five. That's down from nearly 43-percent in 1990.

That decrease includes teen girls. The proportion of pregnancies among teens dropped from 15 percent in 1990 to 12 percent in 2004.

Pregnancies among unmarried women increased while pregnancies among married women went down.

Abortions also fell by nearly a quarter over the studied time period

Doctors commonly prescribe drugs called diuretics for high blood pressure, but a new study suggests the medication may be linked with bone loss.

The research is based on 3-thousand men over age 65.

Rates of hip bone loss among men on diuretics were about twice the rates of men who did not take the medications.

Researchers say diuretics increase the amount of calcium excreted from the body in urine, but that more studies need to be done to determine the exact link.
