To investigate whether advanced maternal age (AMA) increases the risk of postpartum depression (PPD) at 6 weeks after birth and to explore the risk factors.
A cross-sectional study was conducted at 6 weeks postpartum. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale and a self-designed questionnaire were administered to participants. Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine risk factors.
The prevalence of PPD in women of AMA was 18.0%. Poor relationships with mothers-in-law, female fetus, inconsistency between expected sex and actual sex and primiparae were identified as risk factors.
Mothers of AMA require specialized care and support to alleviate their concerns.

本研究采用横断面研究方法，在产后 6 周时对参与者进行爱丁堡产后抑郁量表（Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale）和自行设计的问卷评估。采用多因素 logistic 回归分析确定危险因素。
AMA 产妇的 PPD 患病率为 18.0%。与婆婆关系差、胎儿为女性、期望性别与实际性别不一致以及初产妇被确定为危险因素。
AMA 产妇需要专门的护理和支持，以减轻她们的担忧。
