title: [Late maternity: the phenomenon of the end of the 20th century -- the estimate of clinical condition of mature newborns born at the Institute of Gynecology and Obstetrics in Lódź by older mothers].
abstract: In the paper, the mature newborns of women over 40 were compared to the mature ones of young mothers. The babies were born in the Institute of Gynecology and Obstetrics in Lódź, in the years 1997-1998, and the comparison was done by the analysis of some neonatal parameters. The newborns of older women were delivered by cesarean section mainly. The birth weights average of the index babies was lower than the birth weights average of the controlled ones. Some clinical parameters in both analysed groups were similar. The most important difference concerned the congenital malformations and intrauterine hypotrophy--these disorders were clearly more frequent among the newborns of older mothers.
