Variation in relationships between maternal age at first birth and pregnancy outcomes by maternal race: a population-based cohort study in the United States

What is it about?

Risks of poor pregnancy outcomes increase for all women after age 30. Increased risks at young maternal ages were most pronounced for white and Asian/Pacific Islander women, for whom young childbearing was least common. Conversely, risks at older ages were more pronounced for Black and American Indian/Alaska Native women, for whom delayed childbearing was least common.
