Later menopause has been shown to be associated with later age at last birth (Ayatollahi et al., 2003; Dorjgochoo et al., 2008) and rs10835638 was also associated with later age at last birth [0.02 SD (∼0.1 years) per T allele; 95% CI 0.00 0.04; P = 4.2 × 10−2].
A week later, England at last won a match and he revised his opinion.
Back in a second house in Pleasantville seven months later, they at last found what Mrs. Blasdell described as "the house of our dreams": a five-bedroom 1930s brick colonial on a picturesque, quiet side street, within walking distance of the schools and shops.
Higher prices, and perhaps the fear that higher interest rates could dampen demand later, have at last drawn would-be sellers into the market.
Instead, selection for later age at last reproduction outweighed selection for earlier age at first reproduction in wealthier mothers.
In the Rich and the Middle-class women, later age at last reproduction was more important for fitness than earlier age at first reproduction, whereas in the Poor earlier age at first reproduction was more important (Table 2).
For example, in the Poor mothers living in the most resource limited conditions, earlier age at first reproduction was under stronger selection than later age at last reproduction, whereas the opposite was true for wealthier mothers.
Among the Poor mothers, the importance of long lifespan on fitness, via later age at last reproduction, was most likely due to their higher mortality rates during reproductive ages.
Among parous women the risk tended to increase with later age at last birth; in comparison with parous women reporting their last birth before age 25, the OR was 1.9 in those reporting their last birth at > or =35 years.
Human population studies have reported that higher total fecundity (Manor et al., 2000; Muller et al., 2002), later age at last reproduction (Doblhammer, 2000; Muller et al., 2002; Smith et al., 2002; Helle et al., 2005) and older age at menopause (Snowdon et al., 1989; Cooper and Sandler, 1998; Jacobsen et al., 1999) are positively correlated with longevity.
