All subjects were followed up from the first prenatal care (at ≤12 weeks) to delivery, and risks of pregnancy complications were compared by parity and maternal age groups.

Among nulliparas, women with AMA showed significantly increased risks for gestational hypertension (OR 8.44, 95%CI 1.68–2.88), preeclampsia/eclampsia (OR 9.92, 95%CI 4.87–18.78), premature rupture of membrane (OR 6.84, 95%CI 2.00–17.69), as compared to women in the 20–29-year age group.
