Key to long life may be mom's age at birth
Children born to women younger than 25 live longer, researchers report
NEW YORK - People are more likely to see their 100th birthday, research hints, if they were born to young mothers.
The age at which a mother gives birth has a major impact on how long her child will live, two researchers from the University of Chicago's Center on Aging told the Chicago Actuarial Association meeting this spring.
The chances of living to the ripe old age of 100 — and beyond — nearly double for a child born to a woman before her 25th birthday, Drs. Leonid Gavrilov and Natalia Gavrilova reported. The father's age is less important to longevity, according to their research.
Sorry liberals, guess that means you'll have to live with me for many years yet to come. (Of course, I type this now and then probably wind up getting into a car wreck or something similar completely wiping out any advantage given to me by my mothers youthful age when I was born).
