Discussion at what age is a mom2b most likely to survive giving birth to a live baby? teens or early 20s?

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214109X13701797 has a couple charts showing a death drop from the 15-19 range to the 20-24 range:

This is based on a 2013+ study though. Prior to this a 2007 study at https://mchb.hrsa.gov/whusa10/hstat/mh/pages/237mm.html seems to show that mothers under 20 survived pregnancy more often:

What different variables do you think account for this difference in the curves?

IT will touch this

That's fine, we're just trying to understand science.

I wonder if some of this has to do with socioeconomic factors rather than biological. Like for example, perhaps in studies where 24 year olds have lower fatality than 19 year olds, perhaps the 24 year old is wealthier (5 more years of wages) and more able to afford medical care during the pregnancy (saving her life) or perhaps she is married and can have a delivery in a well-known hospital with a good doctor and thus less likely to hide the pregnancy and do a secret birth with a bad doctor in a secret hospital?

Lifestyle probably plays a lrage role, and 15 year olds are less likely know and follow the proper guidelines for a safe pregnancy than older women.

Under a working healthcare system (look Europe's numbers) the mortality is low even for 30-34 cohort but not any further.

That seems to be the natural cutoff.

It's most likely this that explains tje slip dip in the graph. The culture today is more fitness conscious, so you have more women in their early 20s who are more likely to hit the gym and be athletic, thus increasing the probability of surviving child birth.

Well if you look at it objectively then puberty wouldn't happen during the early teens if it was physically unhealthy to have kids then. Just a thought.

Girls become women at 12-15, end of discussion.

Stay mad, brainwashed numales and seething used up sluts.
