UNVEILING PHYSIOLOGICAL COMPLICATIONS: EXPLORING THE CORRELATION BETWEEN MATERNAL AGES AND GESTATIONAL TIME - A SURVEY-BASED STUDY
Abstract
This survey-based study delves into the intricate relationship between maternal ages and gestational time, seeking to uncover potential associations with physiological complications during pregnancy. Recognizing the growing age diversity of expectant mothers, we conducted a comprehensive survey involving a diverse cohort of pregnant women. By analyzing data related to maternal ages, gestational periods, and reported physiological complications, we aim to elucidate whether specific maternal age groups are more susceptible to certain complications and whether these vary across different stages of gestation. This research contributes to a better understanding of how maternal age influences pregnancy outcomes and informs healthcare strategies to optimize maternal and fetal well-being.
