Abstract

Advanced maternal age is becoming an increasingly relevant issue in high-income developed countries. Lower fertility, greater need for assisted reproductive therapy, and an increase in comorbidities, such as hypertension and diabetes, are some of the reasons for the rise in adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. This chapter reviews and summarizes the recent publications on the impact of advanced maternal age on pregnancy outcomes.

Keywords: Advanced maternal age; Assisted reproductive therapy; Hypertension-related disorders; Intrauterine fetal death; Intrauterine growth restriction; Pregnancy outcomes.
