Breaking News English: Nov 2012 - Feb 2013, Having children makes women live longer

Having children makes women live longer

A new report says that women who do not have children may die earlier than those who do. Researchers from Aarhus University in Denmark looked at over 21,000 couples between 1994 and 2005. They all tried to have children, without success. The women all went to special clinics for IVF treatment – a technique where doctors fertilize the woman's egg in a laboratory. The researchers said that women who could not have children were four times likelier than mothers to die early. Some doctors have said the report might cause childless women to worry about dying early. The truth is there is a very small risk of an early death. Just 316 women died during the 11-year study. Very few of those died earlier than average.

One critic of the report said the study was very misleading. Dr Ingrid Collins, a psychologist, told the BBC: "This is a very specific situation of people who are trying to have children. The study's findings cannot be used to [talk about] the whole general population." She added: "People having IVF tend to be desperate for a child. If they are unsuccessful, they may be depressed. It may be this [depression] rather than the childlessness that [causes an earlier death]." Another psychologist, Dr Helen Nightingale, agreed, saying: "Being childless without a doubt reduces your fight for life….The support of a family, the focus on your children and grandchildren, and the desire to watch how they turn out drives your [will] to survive."


Having children makes women live longer

A new report says that women who do not have children may die earlier than those who do. Yeni bir rapor, çocuğu olmayan kadınların, yapanlardan daha erken ölebileceğini söylüyor. Researchers from Aarhus University in Denmark looked at over 21,000 couples between 1994 and 2005. Danimarka'daki Aarhus Üniversitesi'nden araştırmacılar, 1994 ve 2005 yılları arasında 21.000'den fazla çifti inceledi. They all tried to have children, without success. Hepsi başarılı olamadı, çocuk sahibi olmaya çalıştılar. The women all went to special clinics for IVF treatment – a technique where doctors fertilize the woman's egg in a laboratory. Kadınların hepsi, doktorların kadının yumurtasını bir laboratuvarda döllediği bir teknik olan IVF tedavisi için özel kliniklere gitti. The researchers said that women who could not have children were four times likelier than mothers to die early. Araştırmacılar, çocuk sahibi olamayan kadınların erken ölme ihtimalinin annelerden dört kat daha fazla olduğunu söyledi. Some doctors have said the report might cause childless women to worry about dying early. Bazı doktorlar raporun çocuksuz kadınların erken ölme konusunda endişelenmesine neden olabileceğini söyledi. The truth is there is a very small risk of an early death. Gerçek şu ki, çok küçük bir erken ölüm riski vardır. Just 316 women died during the 11-year study. 11 yıllık çalışma sırasında sadece 316 kadın öldü. Very few of those died earlier than average. Bunlardan çok azı ortalamadan daha erken öldü.

One critic of the report said the study was very misleading. Raporun bir eleştirmeni, çalışmanın çok yanıltıcı olduğunu söyledi. Dr Ingrid Collins, a psychologist, told the BBC: "This is a very specific situation of people who are trying to have children. Bir psikolog olan Dr Ingrid Collins BBC'ye şunları söyledi: "Bu, çocuk sahibi olmaya çalışan insanların çok özel bir durumu. The study's findings cannot be used to [talk about] the whole general population." Çalışmanın bulguları, tüm genel popülasyon [hakkında konuşmak] için kullanılamaz." She added: "People having IVF tend to be desperate for a child. O ekledi: "IVF olan insanlar bir çocuk için umutsuz olma eğilimindedir. If they are unsuccessful, they may be depressed. Başarısız olurlarsa depresyona girebilirler. It may be this [depression] rather than the childlessness that [causes an earlier death]." [Daha erken bir ölüme neden olan] çocuksuzluktan ziyade bu [depresyon] olabilir." Another psychologist, Dr Helen Nightingale, agreed, saying: "Being childless without a doubt reduces your fight for life….The support of a family, the focus on your children and grandchildren, and the desire to watch how they turn out drives your [will] to survive." Başka bir psikolog olan Dr Helen Nightingale de aynı fikirdeydi ve şunları söyledi: "Çocuksuz olmak, yaşam mücadelenizi kuşkusuz azaltır... Bir ailenin desteği, çocuklarınıza ve torunlarınıza odaklanmak ve bunların nasıl sonuçlanacağını izleme arzusu sizi [ yaşayacaktır]."
