[quote=Anonymous]Most kids don't have birth defects, whatever the age of their mother. This paper has adjusted odds ratios for the incidence of a number of different birth defects, depending on maternal age. Odds of some defects are higher for older mothers, but they are pretty low overall, so the fact that an older mother is 50 percent more likely to have a child with Problem X isn't a big deal if the overall odds of Problem X are low. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4532312/[/quote]
