And no young mothers die before their kids are grown, right?

There's a higher chance. It's quite obvious that if you're 80 or whatever, you're no way in Hell gonna stand a chance to be able to do things just as efficiently. If I had a baby at 25, I'd be perfectly fit and able. At 70... forget it. I would not want to be in my 80s with two young kids. Not to mention all the jokes about a kid graduating HS when you'd be retired.

My grandparents were very healthy people who still took buses and walked daily in their 90s before they died. However I would not go so far as to say the majority actually are that fortunate.

I don't know, you'd be more prone to arthritis.
