Analyzing records from 1.4 million people born in Sweden from 1911 to 1925, they found that at age 60, the chance of dying in the next year was 0.6 percentage points lower for fathers versus childless men. At age 80, it was 0.9 percentage points lower, and at 90, it was 1.47 points lower.

The parent advantage remained. Although Modig said there are “definitely” other such “confounding variables,” or factors related to why parents live longer than non-parents, outside experts were impressed with the analysis. “Those other [unaccounted-for] factors wouldn’t account for the large effect they found,” said biostatistician Jenna Krall of George Mason University, who reviewed the study for STAT. This is the first study to look for and find a larger parenthood benefit at older ages. That suggests the reason is not that healthier people become parents. If that were so, the advantage of parenthood would show up at all ages, as the unhealthy and frail die before their time. Some of that was going on: Mortality was higher for childless 60-year-olds compared to 60-year-old parents. But the ever-growing longevity benefit after age 80 suggests that something about the presence of adult children indeed makes a difference. “It’s compelling that they see an increase in the [benefit] as people age,” Krall said. What’s so great about adult children? They can help with everything from navigating the health care system to providing companionship and shouldering stress, which can boost longevity. Such intangibles are more likely to explain the parent advantage than direct caregiving, since how close adult children lived to their elderly parents didn’t matter. That might be because higher education among children is associated with moving farther away, Modig said, and being well-educated may enable children to help their parents even more than being nearby does. The results might not apply to every country, and even the researchers are modest about what they found. “The presence of children is only one, relatively small, factor among many that affects mortality in old age,” Modig said.
