ABSTRACT

Age brings a lot of complications like high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol and due to reduced physical activity among women, these risks are higher. When women tend to postpone the pregnancy due to various social, cultural, personal and economic reasons, the risk of complications during childbirth also increases. Though there may be a number of reasons for each woman to postpone the pregnancy, the outcomes will represent a risk for the woman as well as the health of the baby. Stress is a major cause of disorders and complications like diabetes, hypertension, stroke etc. in normal people. Pregnant women undergo a lot of stress during the pregnancy duration and it also affects the fetes. As the age progresses, the stress related complications like high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol increase the risk of complications during the pregnancy and delivery leading to other complications like birth defects. The paper discusses a model for connecting the age and stress related risks during pregnancy and for predicting the risk prone age which can create complications like ceasarian sections, hypertension and gestational diabetes. The results show that as the age of the mother increases, the pregnancy and delivery become more complicated.


Keywords: Age related complications, Stress related complications, Gestational diabetes, Prediction model, Hypertension.
