Sequela of children born at an advanced age
With the development of society, the elderly childbearing has gradually become a trend. However, giving birth at an advanced age can also lead to a series of child sequelae. The following is a detailed description of genetic diseases, physical development, intellectual development and mental health.
Genetic disease
With the growth of age, the egg quality of women will gradually decline, and they are vulnerable to genetic defects. Older children are more likely to suffer from chromosomal abnormalities, such as Down's syndrome, Edwards syndrome and other genetic diseases. These diseases will bring physical and psychological troubles to children, resulting in abnormal physical and intellectual development.
In addition, children born at an advanced age are also more vulnerable to the impact of parental illness in terms of genetic diseases. For example, if parents suffer from genetic diseases, children born at an advanced age are also more likely to inherit the disease, increasing the risk of children's sequelae.
Physical development
Children born at an advanced age also have some sequelae in terms of physical development. Because the mother is older, the child's birth weight is often low, which is prone to growth retardation. In addition, children born at an advanced age also have some problems in bone development, and are prone to osteoporosis and other diseases.
In addition, the older the pregnant woman, the greater the risk of pregnancy complications and fetal malformations. These complications include pregnancy hypertension, diabetes, prenatal bleeding, etc. These complications have a certain negative impact on the physical development of children.
Intellectual development
Children born at an advanced age also have some sequelae in terms of intellectual development. Research shows that when a pregnant woman is over 35 years old, the child's intellectual development has certain obstacles. This is because when pregnant women are at this age, the speed of nerve generation in the brain decreases, which affects the child's intellectual development.
In addition, there will also be some differences in learning ability, memory and concentration among older children. These differences often bring difficulties to children's education and learning, and may have a certain impact on children's future development.
mental health
Children born at an advanced age also have some sequelae in terms of mental health. Due to the older parents, children often lack the companionship and education of young parents. This may lead to children's immature psychological development, which is prone to emotional instability, inferiority and other problems.
In addition, children born at an advanced age may also face a greater risk of death of their relatives. Older parents are prone to decline in physical function and various diseases. If the parents die, the children will face the pain and loneliness of losing their relatives, which will have a certain impact on the children's mental health.
summary
To sum up, children born at an advanced age have a series of sequelae. These sequelae mainly involve genetic diseases, physical development, intellectual development and mental health. For couples planning to give birth at an advanced age, they should have a deep understanding of these issues and communicate and consult with doctors to make wise decisions. In addition, we should also pay attention to the education and mental health of future children and provide them with necessary support and care.
