sounds like we should quit worrying about teen pregnancy 🙂

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.

If everyone lived to 100 the retirement age would be increased.

Anyone here ever been in a nursing home. Believe me, living to 100 is not usually a good thing.

My mom was 27 so I guess I'm out of luck

 

[CraigRT]

she was in her late 20's, prob. 28 around 28. I am not sure how old she is right now, off the top of my head.

My mother was in her 30's, but I intend to jump off a bridge at the first sign of wanting to play bingo or go fishing like the old geezers do anyway.

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.

I don't know about that theory. At least, from my experience it wouldn't apply these days anyway. Most of the people that had children in their teens that I know are not exactly what I would call active individuals. In fact, I'd call most of them fatasses.

But these studies always seem to make conclusions that are kind of tenuous.

I said "on average."

And this is true. People under 25 do, on average, lead more active lives than people over 35. Even if the majority now are lazy fat asses, more people over 35 are lazy and fat than people under 25.

And this study was done on people born at the turn of the century. So your observations are kinda moot.

And I wonder how many sentences I can start with "and."

I think my mom was 38 when she had me. My dad was probably 44. If I keep going like I am going then I don't want to live to be old. Life is a struggle sometimes.
