许多普遍研究的出生结局（例如婴儿死亡率和早产）的发生率因产妇年龄而异。特别是，年长和年轻的女性都面临着不利分娩结果的可能性增加。这种关联是否存在因果关系是一个悬而未决的问题，因为母亲的年龄与婴儿健康的其他决定因素相关，例如社会经济和婚姻状况。如果年龄确实直接影响婴儿健康，那么过去三十年来发生的延迟生育可能会对健康结果和成本产生重要影响。在本文中，我研究了母亲年龄与婴儿健康之间的关系。为了控制母亲之间不可观察到的差异，我创建了一个独特的大规模面板数据集，其中包含 1989 年至 2001 年间德克萨斯州出生的超过 100 万个兄弟姐妹。使用广义相关随机效应模型比较兄弟姐妹之间的结果，我发现年轻和年长的母亲生下的婴儿在多个方面都不太健康。与 26 岁至 29 岁之间的女性相比，35 岁以上且 18 岁以下的女性早产的可能性高出 30%。高龄分娩的女性还面临婴儿死亡和孩子异常的风险增加。
The incidence of many commonly-studied birth outcomes, such as infant mortality and prematurity, varies by maternal age. In particular, both older and younger women face an increased probability of an unfavorable birth outcome. Whether this association is causal is an open question, as a mother’s age is correlated with other determinants of infant health, such as socioeconomic and marital status. If age does directly affect infant health, then delays in childbearing, as have occurred during the past thirty years, could have important implications for health outcomes and costs. In this paper I examine the relationship between maternal age and infant health. To control for unobservable differences across mothers, I create a unique large-scale panel data set of over one million sibling births from the universe of births in Texas between 1989 and 2001. Comparing outcomes across siblings using a generalized correlated random-effects model, I find that both younger and older mothers give birth to infants who are less healthy along several dimensions. Women over age 35 and under age 18 are 30 percent more likely to have a preterm delivery when compared to women between the ages of 26 and 29. Women giving birth at older ages also face elevated risks of infant death and of having a child with an abnormal condition.
