The Center on Aging Research at the University of Chicago recently discovered that the younger the mother, the more likely the child is to live a long life.

According to a Xinhua News Agency report from Los Angeles on May 3, the research center studied 198 centenarians and found that children born to mothers in their teens or early twenties tend to live longer. In the field of human lifespan research, there has been a long-standing theory of the "firstborn effect," which suggests that the eldest child is more likely to live longer than their younger siblings. One reason for this is that they benefit from having relatively young and healthy parents.
