Does the age of your mother when you are born impact your health or longevity?

My mom was born in July of 1926 and I was born in September of 1962. A few years back I read about a study about this and thought it a worthy use of my Artificial Intelligence App that now costs me 39.99 dollars a year. It uses ChatGPT so I’ll quote it thusly.

For example, older mothers are at a higher risk of pregnancy complications, such as gestational diabetes and hypertension, which can impact the baby's health. Additionally, children born to older mothers may be at a higher risk of certain health conditions, such as autism and schizophrenia.

However, it is important to note that there are many factors that can impact a person's health and longevity, including genetics, lifestyle choices, and access to healthcare. While the age of a mother at the time of a child's birth can play a role, it is just one of many factors to consider.

Always search up the studies from the NIH (US) or NHS (UK) on PubMed Central. ;-)

I think it makes a difference. And the space of a handful of years can make a difference. When I was younger I had more energy.
