New Yale Study Links Childbearing to Accelerated Aging

New research from Yale University reveals the first evidence that childbearing may cause accelerated aging in women.

The researchers tested 100 healthy postmenopausal women from five rural villages in southern Poland for biomarkers associated with accelerated aging.

The study, conducted in partnership with researchers from Jagiellonian University Medical College in Krakow and the Polish Academy of Sciences, found that the women with higher gravidity — those who had experienced more pregnancies, more births, and spent more time lactating — had higher levels of the biomarkers for accelerated aging than women with lower gravidity.

Women who had experienced at least four pregnancies had 20% higher levels of 8-OHdG, a biomarker of oxidative damage to DNA. They had 60% higher levels of Cu-Zn SOD, an enzymeonly food for existence is the currency to trade off between multiple births and existence. In humans who are sociable creatures various other ingredients of nature and environment also should be taken care of. for example I have written an article by name “Longevity and Latitude” which can be viewed through google by typing “vcmadan2” wherein I have stated that latitude plays an important role in the longevity of humans. Equator has got the lease average life expectancy, and if you climb the ladder to higher latitude both North and South the longevity increases and it is maximum at Japan, Uk, Scandinavian countries, USA, Canada and Australia. The cold climate plays a role to curtail metabolism rate to maximum to maintain body temperature and the trade off between
