Dr. Firdous Ansari

Abstract :

According to World Health Organization (WHO), 99% of all maternal deaths occur in developing countries. Everyday in the year 2015, nearly 7400 new–borns died in the WHO South–East Asia Region. The same organization reported that every day, approximately 830 women die from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. In this paper numerous Studies concerning with Advanced Maternal Age (AMA) were taken into account. In the last section, discussion is made. Discussion: On the basis of studies considered, it seems that AMA increases the risk of maternal adverse outcomes. Different factors e.g. contraceptive methods, prolonged studies, economic conditions etc. may be responsible for AMA. Research to improve maternal health even in advanced age, should be undertaken.
