The Adverse Effects of Old Childbearing on the Intelligence Development of Offspring
With the development of social economy and the improvement of medical conditions, more and more women choose to give birth at a higher age. However, the elderly childbearing has a negative impact on the intellectual development of offspring. In the following, we will elaborate the adverse effects of elderly childbearing on the intellectual development of future generations from four aspects: genetic risk, breeding environment, educational resources and energy status.
First of all, the elderly childbearing increases the risk of chromosomal abnormalities and genetic diseases, which in turn affects the intellectual development of offspring. With the growth of age, the quality and quantity of the mother's eggs will decrease, leading to an increase in the incidence of chromosomal abnormalities. For example, children whose pregnant women are older than 35 years have a significantly increased risk of Down syndrome. These genetic diseases often have adverse effects on children's intelligence, body and development.
Secondly, the breeding environment for the elderly is relatively poor, which can not provide good growth and development conditions for the fetus, thus affecting the intellectual development of future generations. Older pregnant women are often accompanied by chronic diseases and decreased physical function, which makes the fetus exposed to adverse maternal environment. For example, diseases such as gestational diabetes and gestational hypertension in elderly women will bring about the risk of brain retardation to the fetus.
Third, the family education resources for elderly childbearing are relatively scarce, which has a negative impact on the intellectual development of future generations. With the growth of age, parents' educational background and social resources will be relatively reduced, which may lead to the lack of good support and guidance in education for future generations. In contrast, young parents are more likely to provide better educational resources, which is conducive to the intellectual development of future generations.
Finally, the parents who give birth at an advanced age are not energetic enough to pay enough attention to and accompany their offspring, which also has a negative impact on the intellectual development of offspring. With the growth of age, parents' physical strength and endurance will gradually decline, unable to meet the needs of future generations for parents' care and companionship. Scientific research shows that the intimate relationship between parents and children is crucial to children's intellectual development.
summary
To sum up, the elderly childbearing has a negative impact on the intellectual development of future generations. Older childbearing increases the risk of chromosomal abnormalities and genetic diseases. Factors such as relatively poor breeding environment, lack of educational resources, and poor energy status of parents all have a negative impact on the intellectual development of offspring. Therefore, we should pay attention to the adverse effects of elderly childbearing on future generations, advocate age appropriate childbearing, and create more favorable conditions for the health and intellectual development of future generations.
