The incidences of congenital anomalies of over 36 years old showed 4.68%, that of 31~35 years old was 1.88%, that of 26~30 years old was 1.62%, and that of 21~25 years was 0.70%. 3. The incidence of congenital anomalies according to parity was the highest in over the para 3 (4.25%) and that of primipara was 1.94%. 4. The incidence of congenital anomaly in male babies was 1.62% and that of female was 1.57%. 5. The incidence of congenital anomalies in below 2500 gm of fetal body weight (15.4%) was higher than in above 2500 gm of fetal body weight (0.8%). 6.When classified according to the type of congenital anomalies, the rate of the incidences in urogenital system were 26.3%, 23.4% in central nervous system, 16.1% in digestive system, 13.1% in musculoskeletal system, 9.5% in skin, 7.3% in cardiopulmonary system, 2.9% in fetal tumor, and 2.2% in chromosomal anormaly syndrome. 7.
