Infertility increases a woman’s chance of dying early by 10 per cent compared to women who have had children, a study found.

Having fertility problems also raised the chance of getting breast cancer by 43 per cent – and increased the chances of dying from diabetes.

But having children protects women from dying prematurely, research shows, suggesting giving birth has a ‘rejuvenating effect’ on a woman’s body.
