Delayed childbearing is a growing trend in developed countries. Between 1989 and 2009, the number of live births to UK women over 40 almost trebled. This accelerating demographic shift is of major clinical and public health concern, because advanced maternal age has consistently been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Decreased maternal age with hydranencephaly
American Journal of Medical Genetics, 1997We studied parental ages of institutionalized children with hydranencephaly. Mothers under age 20 years and under age 18 years were, respectively, 5 and 10 times as frequent as in the general population, and 3 and 4 times more frequent than for institutionalized control patients.

Maternal Age and Parental Loss
British Journal of Psychiatry, 1968Maternal age at parturition, birth order, and parental loss have all been extensively investigated as possible causal or concomitant factors in a wide variety of mental disorders. Thus, to take an extreme example, the influence of maternal age on one of the two main kinds of mongolism is well known and can hardly have other than a biological ...

Both were matched with the autistic group on age, sex, and birth order. In addition, the first control group was matched with the autistic group according to IQ, while the second control group was composed of normally intelligent children and matched ...

Down's Syndrome and Maternal Age
Nature, 1969THE risk of producing offspring with mongolism (Down's syndrome) increases abruptly with maternal age after the age of 30. German1 argued that a decreasing frequency of coitus with age, and an increase in the average interval between the follicular release and the fertilization of the female germ cell, might account for the observed age dependence.

Maternal Residential Atrazine Exposure and Gastroschisis by Maternal Age
Maternal and Child Health Journal, 2012Previous literature has suggested a link between maternal exposure to atrazine (the most commonly used herbicide in the US) and risk for gastroschisis (a birth defect that involves incomplete closure of the abdominal wall). Our objective was to evaluate the relationship between maternal atrazine exposure and gastroschisis risk by maternal age.

Maternal age and infantile autism
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1980In a total population survey of childhood psychosis in the region of Göteborg, 20 children (2 in every 10,000) fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for infantile autism formulated by Rutter. There was a male preponderance with 15 boys and 5 girls. Eighty-five percent of the mothers were older than average. Mean maternal age in the autistic sample was 30.7
