Study reveals new longevity mechanisms in female biology

A recent study suggests that elements of female reproductive biology, such as pregnancy, lactation, and menopause, could provide keys to understanding longevity in both women and men. This approach has been overlooked in research for decades, and it is proposed that reproductive history may illuminate mechanisms for life extension.

The research indicates that biological processes related to female reproduction not only impact women's health but could also have implications for overall longevity, potentially opening new avenues for the study of human biology.
