AI Article Synopsis
- The concept of advanced maternal age (AMA) often refers to women aged 35 and older, with the global standard set at 40 years for monitoring and delivery timelines.
- Mothers with AMA are more likely to have health issues like type 2 diabetes and hypertension, which increases the chances of complications during pregnancy.
- Risks associated with AMA include higher rates of miscarriage, gestational diabetes, caesarean sections, and potential fetal issues like genetic anomalies and prematurity.
Article Abstract
The definition of advanced maternal age (AMA) is debated, with an increasing risk of complications from the age of 35, but a threshold of 40 years old is adopted internationally to adjust surveillance and set the term of delivery between 39 and 40 weeks. Patients with AMA have more comorbidities, such as type 2 diabetes and chronic arterial hypertension. They are at greater risk of miscarriage, -gestational diabetes, hypertensive, thrombotic and psychiatric complications, as well as caesarean sections, placenta previa and placental abruption. Additionally, fetal and neonatal complications can occur, including genetic anomalies, fetal growth issues, stillbirths, and prematurity. AMA is a non--modifiable risk factor that must be taken into account to ensure a safe peri-natal period.

Comprehensive global estimates of the diarrhoeal disease burden for specific age groups of children younger than 5 years are scarce, and the burden in children older than 5 years and in adults is also understudied. We used results from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2021 to assess the burden of, and trends in, diarrhoeal diseases overall and attributable to 13 pathogens, as well as the contributions of associated risk factors, in children and adults in 204 countries and territories from 1990 to 2021.

Background: Infant feeding plays a vital role in neurodevelopment, and a lack of breastfeeding and complementary feeding may increase the risk of developing attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, empirical evidence on this relationship remains uncertain, as most studies are based on cross-sectional designs. Therefore, this study aimed to examine this temporal relationship using longitudinal data from a birth cohort.
