- How Childbirth Changes A Mother's Bones Forever

- Description
- Giving birth and breastfeeding may change your bones forever, new findings from researchers in NYU’s Department of Anthropology and College of Dentistry suggest. The team matched the growth of femur bones to reproductive history for primates who had lived at the Sabana Seca Field Station in Puerto Rico and died of natural causes. Using electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, they found lower concentrations of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus in the bones of females who experienced reproduction.
“A bone is not a static and dead portion of the skeleton,” the researchers note. “Moreover, these findings reaffirm the significant impact giving birth has on a female organism.”
“Quite simply, evidence of reproduction is ‘written in the bones’ for life,” says researcher Paola Cerrito.
