The parental age was noted and statistical analysis was done tocorrelate the maternal age withy DS.Result: Only 26.4% of DS children were born in mothers aged above 35. There was a decrease in number ofchildren born in aged mothers of both group, but there was no much difference in the groups.Conclusion: Maternal age is not only the risk factor for occurrence of DS. There is generally a tendency of earlypregnancy in India, which leads to increase in number of DS children being born to mothers below 35en_US
