London: New research has revealed that mothers who have four or more children are one third less likely to die from stroke.
Research involving 1300 women in California suggested those who had more children were one third less likely to due from cardiovascular disease.
The majority of the effect seemed to result from the prevention of stroke, as mothers of large families were almost 50 per cent less likely to die of a stroke.
However, scientists are not sure what exactly about having four or more children results in better cardiovascular health.
It may be that having higher levels of hormones associated with pregnancy circulating in the body for longer may leave lasting benefits on the blood vessels, the researchers suggested.
