The authors followed more than 21,000 childless couples who enrolled for in vitro fertilization treatment between 1994 and 2005. They followed treatment by the end of 2008. During the period, more than 15,000 babies were born and another 1,564 were adopted. In addition, 96 women and 220 men died.

Mothers with a biological child had a life expectancy up to four times higher compared to women without children. Parents with a biological child were twice as likely to die as men without children. In the case of adopted children, the chances of premature death were halved for men, but the change was not significant for women.
