Forty control population was pregnant women of age 20-34 years of any parity. Results: The incidence of pre-gestational diabetes, gestational diabetes and preeclampsia was found to be higher in the study group. 65% patients in the study group had Cesarean section. 25% underwent vaginal delivery. In the control group, 80% delivered vaginally. This study did not find any increased incidence of malpresentation in elderly women.
