A study of more than 13,000 parents aged 50 and older in the United States revealed that people with sons age faster. The team, made up of Charles University in Prague and Columbia University in New York, studied over 30,000 parents. Experts who monitor individuals over 50 and their spouses found 13 thousand 222 mothers or fathers suitable for the current study, within the scope of the data they obtained.
THEY ARE EXPERIENCEING FASTER COGNITIVE DEGREE!
The scientists found that parents who have at least one son experience faster cognitive decline than those who don’t. On the other hand, experts reported that those who have more than one son lose their cognitive abilities faster than those who have only one daughter.
Noting that girls are more likely to take care of their parents and offer emotional support in their advanced ages, experts suggested that it is possible for parents to stay healthier as they get older.
LOWER POSSIBILITIES TO LEAVE A HEALTHY LIFE
Meanwhile, those with boys may be less likely to lead a healthy lifestyle.
For example, research shows that parents of girls are less likely to drink alcohol, drugs, and smoke, while mothers of sons are more likely to be overweight.
