RESUMEN
Gestations at the extremes of reproductive age are characterized as high-risk pregnancies, conditions that might influence colostrum composition. This first milk secretion contains nutrients necessary for the development and immunity of the newborn; therefore, this study aims to compare adolescent and advanced maternal age mothers regarding sociodemographic, gestational, and perinatal characteristics and the colostrum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in these groups of study. This cross-sectional study has compared sociodemographic, gestational and perinatal data from adolescent mothers (between 10 and 24 years old) (n = 117), advanced maternal age mothers (over 35 years of age) (n = 39) and mothers considered a control group (25 to 34 years old) (n = 58). Additionally, colostrum samples were obtained from the studied and control group subjects by manual milking, between 48 and 72 hours postpartum, and the samples were analyzed for cytokine concentrations by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The majority of the studied mothers reported living a stable union, and 81.2% of the adolescent mothers did not carry out any paid activity. Mothers with advanced maternal age mainly delivered by cesarean section and presented a higher body mass index (BMI). Neonatal weight and Apgar score were not different between the groups. The concentrations of interleukin (IL)-1ß and IL-6 were higher in the colostrum of mothers with advanced age compared to adolescent mothers, but did not differ from the control group. The concentrations of IL-8 and tumor necrosis factor alpha did not differ between the three groups. Therefore, our data demonstrated that maternal age influenced the sociodemographic and gestational characteristics as well as the composition of colostrum cytokines.

INTRODUCTION: OBJECTIVE: To analyze sociodemographic and gestational characteristics and to compare colostrum acidity content in adolescent and advanced maternal age mothers METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 98 adolescents (up to 18 year-old) and 33 advanced maternal age (more than 35 year-old) mothers admitted at the maternity of Presidente Prudente Regional Hospital, Brazil. An approximated volume of 10 mL of colostrum was obtained by manual expression of the breasts within 72h postpartum and stored at -20ºC up to processing. Acidity of colostrum was evaluated in Dornic degrees. Statistical analysis was performed using Mann-Whitney test or X² RESULTS: The median age adolescents and advanced maternal age mothers were 20 years (12-24) 37 years (35-45), respectively. The majority of the adolescents (66.3%) were primiparous and C-section delivery had occurred in 66.7% of advanced age mothers. Gestational body mass index (BMI) was statically higher in advanced maternal age women (32.17±5.6 vs 26.09±3.6, p< 0.0001). Acidity measurement was similar between the studied groups CONCLUSIONS: Sociodemographic and gestational characteristics of adolescents and advanced age mothers showed population heterogeneity, thus, specific follow up and orientations should be applied at each one. Colostrum constitution was constant regarding casein and proteins content, independently of maternal age
INTRODUÇÃO: OBJETIVO: Analisar as características sociodemográficas e gestacionais e comparar a acidez do colostro de nutrizes adolescentes e idade materna avançada MÉTODO: Estudo prospectivo transversal, que incluiu 98 nutrizes adolescentes (até 18 anos) e 33 nutrizes com idade materna avançada (maior que 35) atendidas na Maternidade do Hospital Regional de Presidente Prudente. Amostras de aproximadamente 10 mL de colostro foram obtidas por meio da ordenha manual entre 48 a 72h após o parto, e armazenadas a -20ºC até o processamento. A acidez foi verificada por meio da titulação e calculada em graus Dornic. A análise estatística foi realizada utilizando-se o teste de Mann-Whitney ou X² RESULTADOS: A mediana da idade materna das nutrizes adolescentes foi de 20 (12-24) anos, e das nutrizes com idade materna avançada foi de 37 (35-45) anos. A maioria das nutrizes adolescentes (66,3%) eram primíparas e a via de parto cesárea ocorreu em 66,7% das nutrizes em idade materna avançada. O índice de massa corpórea (IMC) gestacional foi estatisticamente maior em nutrizes com idade materna avançada (31,3±5,6 vs 26,06±3,6, p< 0,0001). A acidez do colostro das nutrizes nos extremos da idade reprodutiva não apresentou diferença significativa entre os grupos de nutrizes CONCLUSÃO: As características sociodemográficas e gestacionais de adolescentes e mães com idade materna avançada evidenciam heterogeneidade dessas populações e consequentemente, atendimento e condutas específicas devem ser aplicados a cada uma. A constituição do colostro em caiseina e proteinas apresentou-se constante, independente da idade materna
