In conclusion, the findings in this study cannot be proven factual or even reasonable for another 80-100 years when there is a group of centenarians born during the times of advanced medical technology and higher rates of marriage and childbearing in the late 20s and early and mid 30s to compare to the 1875-1899 study group. Let's wait awhile before we try to use the lifestyles and families of people born two centuries ago to conclude which of us will live to see 100! |

What you have to realize about this theory is that there are many flaws! First, the study was done on people who were at least 100 years old and born between 1875 and 1899. In those times, most people got married in their early and mid-teens and had kids by the time they were 20. Therefore, most of the people in the study would have had mothers who gave birth to them before the age of 25 anyway. Second, medical care in the late 1800s was prehistoric and there have been great technilogical advances in medicine and healthcare in the last century. Therefore, prenatal care is significantly more advanced and allows for more healthy babies to be born to older women. Current prenatal care standards were unheard of then. Third, the environment in which most children born to younger mothers in the 1800s lived was much more family oriented, traditional and low-stress than they usually are nowadays and all of these factors can be linked to a longer, healthier life. |

I'm sure there are many factors that contribute to long life, I think they're saying that that just could be one of them. |

People shouldn't go around making judgements about people they've never met, or know anything about, or who's name they don't even know.Jerks. |

Wow, this was a popular post! So I apologize if someone has already pointed this out.The scientists had finished by saying that most of the similarities held by centerians was speculation as to whether it had anything to do with their long life. However, the fact that a woman is born with all the eggs she will produce, and that they age (along with her) as she grows older. It only makes sense, that the younger the eggs, the better they are. That is why women over the age of 35 are warned that their chances of having birth defects increase from that age on. Their eggs are old and begin to deteorate. Unsure of all the other stuff, except that living on a farm means hard work and living off the land. Much healthier than someone who has never done hard physical labor and lives off fast food. Think about it folks. |

"i know someone whose mom had them when they were 11 and they are hella cool."Um, yeah o.O Would you not find it a little weird that your mother is near enough the same age as yourself? |

I'm sorry, this seems totlly B.S.Life factors affect it more than this, not everyones gonna grow up the same, people have diferent experiences, so sorry, I see no research apart from the fact that it just tells you. Hey, everybody, if you drink acid, it cures cancer! now we let the idiots perish. |

Whoever said "Young mothers are Sluts' FU(K YOU! I'll have you know that my Mom was 14 when she had me and I'm an only Child so FU(K YOU!!!this really does not support your case, because you said that doesnt mean she wasnt a slut, which is probably the case...you've got to be a fu*king slut yo get preggers at 14 or incredibly stupid, you choose, those are your options. Bye |
