A Finnish twin study of almost 15,000 women found that having about two to three children is associated with the slowest aging and longest life, while having far more (around 6.8) or not having children is linked to higher mortality and faster biological aging; age at childbirth also matters, with earlier births tied to faster aging. The findings show associations, not causation, and researchers caution against changing personal reproductive plans based on this study, noting that many factors influence aging and lifespan.
