Abstract Introduction: Age of mother at pregnancy can be one of the main risk factors for hazardous outcome of pregnancy. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the association between the maternal age and the outcome of pregnancy. Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional analytic study that pregnancy outcome in women presenting to Alzahra hospital for delivery was assessed. Variable studied included: enduced hypertension and diabetes in placental complication (placenta abruption, placental previa), preterm labor and premature rupture of membranes (PROM) was divided into 3 groups based on age 16 and 17-34 and 35.‍Pregnant women in two groups: 17-34 and 35 were matched according to parity. Data collection analysis was carried out with chi-square test by SPSS.9 software. Results: In this survey, 6045 pregnant women with gestational age over 20 weeks were studied. Frequency of delivered women according to age group showed that 52 cases (%0.8) were 16 years, 5406(89.4%) were 17-34 years and other 587(9.8%)were 35.Data showed that there were significant differences between the three age groups and the risk of pregnancy-induced hypertension, gestational diabetes, placental abruption, placental previa, PROM, mal presentation, preterm labor and cesarean section (P<0/05). In contrast, there wasn’t a statistically significant difference between advanced maternal age and the frequency of PROM (P>0/05). Conclusion: It appears that pregnancy in age 35 comparing with teenage pregnancy has special risk factors. Awareness of the risks and complications has an important role planning for appropriate prenatal services.
