Older mothers’ longevity might be higher comparing to younger mothers

June 26, 2014 By Deborah Cobing Leave a Comment

Older mother's longevity representation with infantThe women’s age when they give birth is a constant research focus in relevant research community. It did, however, prove to be leading toward a mainstream conclusion: bearing children while older is often accompanied by several problems, be it a higher risk of autism development or the occurrence of birth defects. Other studies found the opposite, as researchers discovered lower rates of brain and kidney defects at older mothers’ infants. Now there are new findings suggesting that older mothers’ longevity is significantly higher than for women who give birth earlier in life.

Older mother’s longevity – research findings

Boston University Medical Center released data which, according to Science Daily, translate into the good news that women giving birth at an older age are prone to live longer. The study focused on women who had family members living exceptionally long lives. The Long Life Family Study comprises an impressive sample of 551 families. The main conclusion is that mothers giving birth to the last child after the age of 33 had their odds of living up to 95 years doubled, a remarkable improvement for older mother’s longevity.

The study aims at identifying genetic influences on the age length. The follow-up question is how do the socio-economic conditions of mothers bearing children at older age? It appears that both the mother’s education and income levels influence both the mother’s and the infant’s health and overall wellbeing. More educated mothers tend to bear children at older ages, thus skewing the overall statistics on mothers’ ages and health issues. Keeping in mind the fact that pregnancy is a strong candidate for gender discrimination at employment, a women who gives birth at 35 will have had by then enough time to get education and job promotions. In the end, when you look deeper into the topic of older mothers’ longevity, it appears that poverty is the main reason behind teen pregnancy. There are several explanations for it. The strongest reasoning appeals to the poor women’s range of choices: not getting a full education and, subsequently, not getting a (well paid) job can lead to having children at younger age. But the direct correlation between them does not seem to be fully understood, explanations being often ended with vague conclusions such as ‘cultural norm’.

The “Extended maternal age at birth of last child and women’s longevity in the Long Life Family Study” will be published in January 2015. It will be a proper moment to reassess the conclusions regarding older mothers’ longevity in the face of a complete scientific argument.

Stress Can Reduce Sperm and Semen Quality New Study Reveals

May 30, 2014 By Troy Rubenson Leave a Comment

Stress Can Reduce Sperm and SemenNew protein that gives hope to infertility patients was found and the results were revealed last month. Now we get some more insight into how fertility is connected to stress through the results of a new study that links stress to male fertility. Apparently, stress can reduce sperm and semen quality in men.

While you might say that there is no news here, there haven’t been any conclusive studies, until now, that showed that stress can reduce sperm and semen quality. Stress has always been associated with a number of health problems, which include obesity, depression and heart disease.  Now we know that stress affects the sperm and semen quality.

Stress Can Reduce Sperm and Semen Quality

Did you know that when it comes to infertile couples, in 40% of the cases, the male partner is the sole cause of infertility? Sperm abnormalities, such as misshaped and immobile sperm, low sperm production or ejaculatory problems aren’t the only things that cause infertility. Lifestyle is also a big factor that can influence fertility. For example, it has been known for decades that smoking can affect sperm motility and now stress is the next culprit for sperm and semen deterioration.

The study was led by scientists from the Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health in New York, NY and the Rutgers School of Public Health in Piscataway, NJ. The researchers conducted their study from 2005 and 2008 on 193 men with ages between 38 and 49. The levels of stress in their life were measured and the semen concentration and sperm shape and movement were also analyzed.

The researchers found that the men who experienced more stressful lives and life events had a lower percentage of sperm motility and sperm altogether. Men who didn’t experience stressful life events had healthier sperm and semen. Also, it was discovered that the men whose jobs stressed them had lower levels of testosterone in their semen.

But how does stress affect the sperm and semen quality? Well, the researchers couldn’t exactly tell how that happens, but they do propose a couple of theories. It is known that stress activates the release of some steroid hormones that affect the metabolism of fats, proteins and carbs. This can reduce testosterone levels and thus, sperm production.

Also, stress could cause oxidative stress, a type of physiological stress that is caused by free radicals. This type of stress has been linked to semen and sperm damage.

‘Human wastes’ the next weapon against climate change

September 23, 2013 By Janet Vasquez Leave a Comment

You must have heard human waste to be used as soil fertility boosters. But scientists suggest, it could be the next big weapon in the fight against climate change.

Research indicates that human waste can not only boost fertility and organic structure of soil but can also increase carbon retention in the soil. Bio-solids contain the major nutrients nitrogen and phosphorus, but also micro-nutrients and trace minerals.

“Our research shows that if applied to agricultural soils or re-vegetation projects, bio-solids – as well as increasing soil fertility and boosting plant growth – can lock up carbon,” Professor Nanthi Bolan from the University of South Australia said.

Earth-001
He further added, “Biosolids contain nitrogen and other nutrients for crop growth, organic matter to improve soil structure, and non-degradable forms of carbon that will stay in the soil for a long time.”

Scientists believe that the big issue with bio-solids is the cost of transporting them to where they will be used and spreading them on the soil.

Bolan said that the research indicates this can be offset not only by the boost to fertility and soil organic structure but also by its ability to increase carbon retention in the soil.

“In other words you could earn carbon credits by using treated human waste as a soil improver – which would pay for part of the cost of transporting and distributing it,” said Bolan.

The amount of carbon that can be locked up depends on several variables . These variables range from how the bio-solids were stabilized at the sewage works, the type of crop they fertilize, and the levels of iron and aluminium in the soils, which combine with, and consequently lock up, the carbon in bio-solids.

Antioxidant removes typically demonstrate extraordinary ends up with lab studies (test tubes, laboratory dinners in addition to at times with laboratory animals), however any time they are employed in man clinical trial offers, the results with regard to condition in addition to death avoidance have been discouraging.

However, scientists claim that there is no satisfactory facts of which this can be a circumstance, plus they include of which many of the antioxidants taken are generally unregulated, using small facts on their safe practices along with consequences. The scientists conducted an examination associated with information via 28 studies concerning 3, 548 women who have been starting libido therapy. The length on the libido therapy ranged via 12 days and nights to year or so, along with age ladies ranged concerning 16 to 38. As a result of this, females having antioxidants therapy has advised that antioxidants could be the explanation of their fertility problems.
