Bintang Nasution , Social Obstetrics and Gynecology, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Hasanuddin University, Makassar, IndonesiaAbstract
Pregnancy at advanced maternal age (AMA), typically defined as 35 years or older, presents unique challenges and risks to both maternal and perinatal health. This study aims to assess the maternal and perinatal outcomes in pregnancies occurring at advanced maternal age, providing a comprehensive overview of potential complications, including gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, preterm birth, and low birth weight. By analyzing clinical data and maternal health indicators, the study highlights the factors influencing these outcomes and offers insights into the management and care strategies necessary for optimizing health during AMA pregnancies. The findings underscore the importance of early prenatal care, risk stratification, and personalized management to improve both maternal and neonatal health outcomes in this growing demographic.
