RE: Does The Sex Of A Child Affect A Mothers Future Health?

in #science8 years ago

could lead to several diseases not limited to heart issues.

They looked for a variety of other possible issues, and cardiac trouble was what stood out. I think assuming that its only stress induced is actually too simple of an explanation (life is ... always just so much more complicated).

I don't suppose they took note of the children's age group and whether or not they're the naughty vs not?

Not that I saw during my reads of the article.

And the no kid, I was told before that women who don't give birth are prone to certain forms of cancer (not sure about that though).

Definitely breast cancer risk is higher for women who do not have children (or have children really late in life).

Very true. It makes me wonder what else they can discover in this study.

Thanks for answering! I'm going to look at the link you gave me.
