Number of Children and Telomere Length in Women: A Prospective, Longitudinal Evaluation

5 Jan 2016

Abstract excerpt

Life history theory (LHT) predicts a trade-off between reproductive effort and the pace of biological aging. Energy invested in reproduction is not available for tissue maintenance, thus having more offspring is expected to lead to accelerated senescence. Studies conducted in a variety of non-human species are consistent with this LHT prediction. Here we investigate the relationship between the number of...
