In Iran, limited studies have focused on the effects of maternal age on gestational and neonatal outcomes to demonstrate the pregnancy outcomes in young women.

In this cross-sectional study, variables such as maternal age, neonatal birth weight, head circumference at birth, one- and five-minute Apgar scores, gestational age, low birth weight, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), neonatal mortality, fetal death, preterm labor and cesarean section, maternal mortality, anemia, and preeclampsia were assessed in all the subjects.
