Analyzing the greater relationship between knowledge and age with the selection of long-acting reversible contraceptives.: Meta analysis by searching the Google Scholar and NCBI. After going through the identification and selection stage, 20 articles were included in the meta-analysis. Pooled Odds Ratio (pOR) is calculated using a fixed-effect model for data analysis according to the heterogeneity test using Review Manager 5.4.1. The pOR value for the knowledge variable is 1,76 (95% CI 1,31-2.37) with a mean effect size value of 0,4888 and for the age variable 1,15 (95% CI 0,088- 1,51) with a mean value effect size of 0,4056. The knowledge variable has a greater than a age variable.
