961 Citations1995Alison Fraser, John E. Brockert +1 more
In a study of mothers 13 to 24 years old who had the characteristics of most white, middle-class Americans, a younger age conferred an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes that was independent of important confounding sociodemographic factors.

255 Citations2000Lorenzo D. Botto, Joseph Mulinare +1 more
Results suggest that approximately one in four major cardiac defects could be prevented by periconceptional multivitamin use, which is associated with a reduced risk for nonsyndromic cardiac defects in the offspring.

Young and advanced maternal ages are associated with different types of birth defects, and underlying causes for these associations are not clear.

Key gaps in knowledge are discussed, possible avenues for future research, and counseling issues for families concerned about occurrence or recurrence of these birth defects are discussed.
Obstetrics and GynecologyMaternal age and malformations in singleton births
241 Citations2000Larry H. Hollier
Advanced maternal age beyond 25 years was associated with significantly increased risk of fetuses having congenital malformations not caused by aneuploidy, and the risks of clubfoot and diaphragmatic hernia also increased as maternal age increased.

240 Citations1994Claudine P. Torfs, Ellen M. Velie +3 more
Young, socially disadvantaged women with a history of substance use were at highest risk for a child with a gastroschisis, and the best predictive model explained 32% of the deviance.

This study does not support the contention that only large dosages of folic acid are needed to prevent orofacial clefts and finds a 48% risk reduction for CLP among mothers who used multivitamins during the periconceptional period or who started multivitamin use during the first postconceptional month.

154 Citations2000Margaret A. Honein
The importance of familial factors and smoking in the etiology of clubfoot is confirmed and a potentially important interaction is identified that is higher than would be expected under either an additive or a multiplicative model of interaction.

139 Citations1993Nancy L. Day, Carrie M. Cottreau +1 more
The women most likely to use substances during pregnancy are women who also have other characteristics that are, in themselves, significant risk factors for poor pregnancy outcome and these covariates must be considered in the evaluation of the effects of prenatal substance use.
TeratologyRisk factors for gastroschisis
134 Citations1990Gary Goldbaum, Janet R. Daling +1 more
Smoking during pregnancy is a plausible risk factor that should be examined further as an explanation of the apparently increasing prevalence at birth of gastroschisis in developed nations.
JAMAKnowledge and Use of Folic Acid by Women of Childbearing Age—United States, 1995 and 1998
116 Citations1999
It is indicated that 7% of women know folic acid should be taken before pregnancy to reduce the risk for neural tube defects, and compares these results with those from a similar survey conducted in 1995.
TeratologyYoung maternal age and smoking during pregnancy as risk factors for gastroschisis
115 Citations1993James E. Haddow, Glenn E. Palomaki +1 more
Evidence from the present study and other published studies clearly establishes a greater risk for fetal gastroschisis in pregnant women younger than age 20, even after adjustment for smoking status.

103 Citations1992Martha M. Werler, Allen A. Mitchell +1 more
An analysis of data collected in a case-control surveillance program of birth defects was conducted, and no associations were identified for cigarette smoking, consumption of caffeinated or decaffeinated coffee, unplanned pregnancy, 12 or less years of education, or a parity of two or more.
TeratologyIndependent effects of maternal age and birth order on the incidence of selected congenital malformations
93 Citations1972Sylvia Hay, Helen E. Barbano
Most of the malformations analyzed exhibited increasing incidence as maternal age increased, butHypospadias, esophageal defects, omphalocele, and Down syndrome showed evidence of decreasing incidence as birth order increased, while some of the other malformation categories showed an excess of 1st births in most age groups.

Several specific malformation types, representing nearly every organ system, were elevated among the infants of women under 20 years of age in comparison with those of women 25 to 29 years old.

This study has identified young pregnant women as a group at particular risk of low micronutrient intake, for the first time, and the health implications of poor nutrition now need to be evaluated, particularly for those women who smoke.

33 Citations2005P O Pharoah
It is proposed that a significant proportion of congenital anomalies and cerebral palsy of unknown etiology are attributable to a monozygotic multiple conception with monochorionic placentation and that these anomalies, even in singletons, may be explained by early, unrecognized or unrecorded loss of one conceptus in a monochOrionic monozygotics conception.

The findings suggest that public health campaigns that promote the consumption of folic acid should target women who are young, unmarried, obese, smoke, eat few fruits and vegetables, and have a low level of education.
