Does the Down syndrome screening have anything to do with the pregnant woman's date of birth?

Patient's question:

Today, the screening results showed that the risk of Down syndrome exceeded the predetermined screening standard. I entered my birth date as (19820812) in the lunar calendar. I would like to ask if this has any relevance. Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Generally, the Down syndrome screening is mainly targeted at children with Down syndrome. Pregnant women of advanced maternal age should pay attention to the following suggestions: Based on your condition, your current situation is that the risk of Down syndrome exceeds the predetermined screening standard. Therefore, further amniocentesis is necessary to evaluate your condition. This test is more accurate than the results of the Down syndrome screening, so you must undergo it. You do not yet belong to the category of advanced maternal age.
