It is currently unknown whether short intervals are associated with increased risks among older women to the same extent as among younger women. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether the association between short interpregnancy (delivery to conception) interval and adverse pregnancy outcomes is modified by maternal age. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: A population-based cohort study conducted in British Columbia, Canada, evaluated women with 2 or more singleton pregnancies from 2004 to 2014 with the first (index) pregnancy resulting in a live birth.
