Wow. That's impressive. Sounds like you can go sub-35-minutes in a 10K.
 
To some degree, this makes sense. Male sperm cells are constantly produced and renewed, so any particular cell that resulted in conception has lived a very short time. Female egg cells, on the other hand, are already in place when the child is born, and from then on, they pick up everything that the woman has been exposed to in her childhood, puberty, and beyond, up to conception: radiation, chemicals, poisons, etc., etc., especially in modern life. So the longer a woman waits to have a child, the bigger the possibility that something will go wrong with the DNA in her egg cells.

 
my mom at 23... funny thou I rarely get sick even during flu season, and they never find anything on me by doc.
 
Awesome. My mom was 22 when she had me, and health-wise im pretty normal. I used to get the flu once a year until this year, I am thinking that now at 16 my body figured out how to block it in the first place =D

My target age is 75 minimum. No smoking, drugs, and will drink only on special occasions.

other factors seem to help someone live an exceptionally long life. These include growing up in the Western part of the U.S., spending part of one's childhood on a farm, and being born first.

Well, born in Seattle, only child, and I work on a farm. Good times.
 
I just realized that I don't know! I think my mom is in her 50's or 60's. So my chances may be pretty good, or not so hot. Good thing I don't care about living to age 100, eh?
 
i thought it was common knowledge that before 30 is necessary to prevent complications and poblems since he women's egg dna would begin to deteriorate?

Ah well moe he reason to get hooked up early and have fun as soon as you do 😉

It's not common knowledge. It's considered safe to have children well into your 40's these days.
 
I was the fourth kid to a 36yr old mother, fifth kid if you factor in the abortion. Man I'm going to die really early.
 
I have a theory on why this happens:

A younger mother is, on average, likely to be more active while she raises the child. In these cases it may influence the child to live a more active lifestyle.

Just an idea.

Wrong.
Totally wrong.
It gives MORE concern for teen pregnancy.
Who exactly is going to support all the 100 year olds? Aging population = bad thing.
Dying (comparatively) young = good thing for society.
If everyone lived to be 100 and spent over half their lives not working those who did work would be screwed.
