AIMS: Advanced maternal age (AMA) is correlated with higher risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes while the pathophysiology remains unclear. Our study aimed to investigate whether AMA is linked to the clustering of metabolic abnormalities, which in turn is associated with an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes.

METHOD: A total of 857 pregnant woman were recruited in a prospective cohort at National Taiwan University Hospital, from November 2013 to April 2018. Metabolic abnormalities during pregnancy were defined as following: fasting plasma glucose ≥92 mg/dl, body mass index (BMI) ≥24 kg/m2, plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol <50 mg/dl, hyper-triglyceridemia (≥140 mg/dl in the first trimester or ≥220 mg/dl in the second trimester), and blood pressure ≥130/85 mmHg.

RESULT: Incidence of large for gestational age (LGA), primary caesarean section (CS), and the presence of any adverse pregnancy outcome increased with age. The advanced-age group tended to have more metabolic abnormalities in both the first and the second trimesters. There was a significant association between the number of metabolic abnormalities in the first and the second trimesters and the incidence of LGA, gestational hypertension or preeclampsia, primary CS, preterm birth, and the presence of any adverse pregnancy outcome, adjusted for maternal age.

CONCLUSION: AMA is associated with clustering of metabolic abnormalities during pregnancy, and clustering of metabolic abnormalities is correlated with increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes.
