The researchers suggested in the paper that “the number of children born to a woman influences the rate at which her body ages,” and the results were positive. They found “women who give birth to more surviving children exhibited longer telomeres. Telomeres are the protective tips at the end of each DNA strand and are indicative of cellular aging. Longer telomeres are integral to cell replication and associated with longevity.”
