Daughters Born To Older Mothers May Have Increased Risk For Stress, Depression In Young Adulthood

HealthDay (11/21, Preidt) reported that research published in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology suggests that “daughters who were born to older mothers may be at increased risk for stress, anxiety and depression when they reach young adulthood.” Investigators “followed 1,200 Australians born between 1989 and 1991 for two decades.” The researchers “found that daughters born to mothers who were aged 30-34 had higher levels of stress at age 20 compared with those born to younger mothers.”
