A new study conducted in Denmark by Esben Agerbo, Ph.D., an associate professor at Aarhus University in Aarhus, found that being a parent may help women and men live longer. Agerbo and colleague believe that having children are the secret to a longer life in human.
Danish researchers had hypotheses if childless couples were more likely to die early than men and women with kids. The study titled “Childlessness, parental mortality and psychiatric illness: a natural experiment based on in vitro fertility treatment and adoption” is being published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.
Agerbo and the team of researchers used a large sample of 21,276 childless couples in vitro fertility treatment (IVF) between 1994 and 2005. Researchers continued to follow those couples until the end of 2008 and recorded their death, their relocation, or conducting diagnosis of any type of illness. Within the period of 1994 to 2005, over 15,000 babies were born and about 1,564 babies were adopted by those couples. Researchers found that being a parent actually decreased the risk of early death.
There were some conclusions from the study on longevity. First, women who become mothers with a biological child were four times less likely to die early than childless women. Second, men who become fathers with a biological child were two times less likely to die early than childless men. Other findings include that men who adopted a child were 50% less likely to die early than childless men. Women who adopted a child have no significant differences with childless women.
