Sample: Convenient sample of 829 women were recruited for this study divided into three groups on 3 different age levels. Group (I): “study group” all women delivering before the age of 20 years was 211. Group (II): “control group” all women delivering at age of 20 to 34 years was 539. Group (III): “study group” all women delivering at the age of 35 years and above was 79 from 1st. July 2017 to 31thDecember 2017 in women health hospital at Assiut University.

Complication of post labour in study groups, there were (0.47%) in group “1” had post-partum hemorrhage and perineal tear in group “1” vs. no complication in both group control study with significance difference (P<0.05). Conclusion: maternal age, baseline, primiparity, educational level and residence with adverse pregnancy outcomes represented the need to control these modifiable risk factors from a public health perspective.
