Message-ID: <1142223837.928036.82060@e56g2000cwe.googlegroups.com> Greetings, Recently we have come across a puzzling observation that being conceived to particularly young mother (age below 25 years) increases the chances to survive to 100 (odds ratio is close to 2.0). Any ideas why is that? Surprisingly there is no much difference between the 25-year and 45-year mothers in this respect. So this is not a deterioration in later life, but rather a kind of the early-life "credit", which is rapidly exhausting and then the age effects become negligible. Is it possible that the best most vigorous eggs are used first, very early in life? Any other ideas? Thanks!
