Does a woman's reproductive history influence her life span? This study explores the question with data from the contemporary female populations of England and Wales and Austria. It is the first comparative study to investigate the relationship between fertility and mortality late in life. We find similar patterns and age-specific trends of excess mortality in both populations: parity significantly influences longevity, as do both an early and a late birth. These differences in longevity are not explained by differences in educational or family status. The impact of a woman's reproductive history on her life span is small, however, compared to the influence of her level of education or family status.
女性的生育史会影响其寿命吗？本研究利用英格兰、威尔士和奥地利当代女性人口的数据来探讨这一问题。这是第一项调查生育与晚年死亡率之间关系的比较研究。我们在这两个人口中发现了类似的模式以及特定年龄的超额死亡率趋势：生育胎次显著影响寿命，早育和晚育也有同样的影响。这些寿命差异无法用教育或家庭状况的差异来解释。然而，与教育水平或家庭状况的影响相比，女性生育史对其寿命的影响较小。
