"Researchers discover ‘pronounced reversal of biological aging’ after women give birth"
Researchers have replicated the results of a 2023 study showing that pregnancy increases women’s “biological age” but also discovered a “postpartum recovery effect… indicating a pronounced reversal of biological aging” after a woman has given birth.
The National Institute on Aging says biological age, as opposed to chronological age, “means the true age that our cells, tissues, and organ systems appear to be, based on biochemistry.”
Consistent with the 2023 findings, “We found a significant positive association between the stage of pregnancy and biological age,” the researchers, who came from Yale School of Medicine, University of California at Irvine, and Germany, wrote. “We also observed a statistically significant ‘reversal’ of biological aging across all epigenetic biomarkers from the late pregnancy to the approximately 3-month postpartum time point.”...
Kieran J. O’Donnell of Yale told MedicalXpress.com, “At three months’ postpartum, we saw a remarkably large decrease in biological age, by as much as eight years for some individuals, so while pregnancy increases biological age there is a clear (and pronounced) recovery in the postpartum.”
The fact that after delivery the “aging” effect pregnancy has on women’s cells can significantly reverse is one of many sublime realities about the mother-child relationship. DNA from unborn babies stays in their mothers’ bodies long after birth and may offer mothers increased resistance to certain diseases. And a mother’s body increases or decreases in temperature to help a newborn who is placed on her, skin to skin, maintain a healthy body temperature.
