以牺牲其他生理功能为代价对生殖过程进行大量投资，可能导致产妇健康状况不佳。老年人的健康状况可以通过自我评定的健康状况进行可靠的评估，这是死亡率的一个强有力的预测因素。我们调查了生殖和健康之间的权衡，通过分析自评健康和妇女生育的孩子总数之间的关系，以及波兰559名45-92岁的生育后妇女的子女数量。儿子的数量，而不是女儿的数量或孩子的总数，与自我评价的健康状况显着相关，调整潜在的混杂因素（年龄，教育，婚姻状况，目前吸烟和BMI）。每个儿子报告健康状况不佳的几率增加11%（OR =0.89; 95%CI 0.81-0.99）。儿子对母亲机体的能量和免疫力要求更高，这可能解释了为什么生儿子比生女儿对老年母亲健康的负面影响更大。为了了解生殖和产妇保健之间的权衡，不仅应考虑到子女总数，而且还应考虑到子女的性别。
High investment in reproductive processes at the expense of other physiological functions may result in poor maternal health. Health status at older age can be reliably assessed by self-rated health, which is a strong predictor of mortality. We investigated trade-offs between reproduction and health by analysing relationships between self-rated health and the total number of children ever born by a woman, and the number of her sons and daughters among 559 post-reproductive women aged 45-92 from Poland. The number of sons, but not the number of daughters or the total number of children, was significantly associated with self-rated health, adjusted to potential confounders (age, education, marital status, current smoking and BMI). Each son increased the odds of reporting poor health by 11% (OR =0.89; 95%CI 0.81-0.99). Sons are more energetically and immunologically demanding for the maternal organism which may explain why having sons has more negative influence on maternal health in older age than having daughters. In order to understand trade-offs between reproduction and maternal health not only the total number of children but also sex of the children should be taken into account.
