Mothers of Twins live longer and are healthier
The information came from the Utah Population Database. The researchers compared the moms of twins with the moms of those having one baby at a time and looked for differences in life span, number of children, time between pregnancies and length of fertility, all measures of health. Women who naturally beared twins in fact lived longer and were actually more fertile – go figure! It is a very interesting study because even those conducting the study figured it would be the opposite of the result.
