According to a latest research mothers who gave birth late has a longer lifespan than those who women who gave birth early.
Based on the study women who give birth in their 40s or 50s have genes that allow them to live longer than other women who gave birth in their younger years.
Demographer Ken Smith, the lead author of the study, revealed the findings was based on the study they conducted on 11,604 Utah men who were born between 1800 and 1869 and who had at least one sister who lived at least to age 50; and the records of 6,206 Quebec men who lived between 1670 and 1750, and had at least one sister who lived to 50 or older.
Smith said their study yielded result that women who had "late fertility" - a birth at age 45 or older - were 14 percent to 17 percent less likely to die during any year after age 50 than women who did not deliver a child after age 40.
However, Smith clarified that those studies did not determine if the women gave birth later and lived longer because of genes or because of social and environmental factors such as good nutrition or healthy living.

Women who will gave birth late got to live longer than young mothers.
 

He said the study also showed that women who had "late fertility" - a birth at age 45 or older - were 14 percent to 17 percent less likely to die during any year after age 50 than women who did not deliver a child after age 40.
Furthermore, Smith said genes account for up to 25 percent of differences in longevity.
The lead researcher explained the link between late motherhood and longevity could be something that is not inherited. It could be good nutrition or good living, suggesting that if you are a healthier mother you live longer.
