Childless women are 72 per cent more likely to die of cancer than mothers, research suggests.
Scientists followed one per cent of England and Wales' population over 50 years to make the conclusion.
The researchers believe 'clear behavioural changes' take place when you start a family, including drinking less and not staying out late, which may protect against cancer.
Childless women are 72 per cent more likely to die of cancer, research suggests. Scientists believe 'not having a family encourages an unhealthy lifestyle of staying out late' (stock)
The research was carried out by The University of Klagenfurt, Austria, and led by Professor Paul Schweinzer, from the department of economics.
The scientists analysed data on parenthood, marital status and income from the Office for National Statistics Longitudinal Study (ONS-LS).
ONS-LS collected information on people living in England and Wales during the censuses of 1971, 1981, 1991, 2001 and 2011.
Results - published in the journal Scientific Reports - revealed women who have children are less likely to die of cancer.
For example, among 70-year-old women without offspring, the risk of dying from the disease would be 1.3 per cent, compared to 0.4 per cent among those who have a family.
Mothers also have half the risk of dying from infectious diseases.
The researchers believe this may be due to the 'parental co-immunisation hypothesis' - the theory a mother or father's immune system 'refreshes' via exposure to a child's infection.
This boosted immune system then gives parents a better chance at fighting off infections in old age.
'[Children] bring infections home [from school] that they need in order to build their defences,' Professor Schweinzer told The Times.
'As a by-product, they nearly kill the parents.
'If there’s some kind of mechanism that makes immunisation decay over time, it might be beneficial to be re-immunised.'
The same protection also applies to fathers but to a lesser extent.
Results suggest men with children are a third less likely to die of infectious diseases, two-thirds less at risk of passing away from cancer and just over half as less likely to die by accidents, murder or suicide.
But marriage does not have the same protective effects.
Men who say 'I do' are 171 per cent more likely to die of cancer and 123 per cent more likely to pass away from heart disease compared to 75-year-old bachelors.
And women who get married are 18 per cent more likely to die of cancer.
The researchers worry couples who are married but do not have children may become 'more sedentary' and adopt a 'dissolute lifestyle'.
The results further suggested having a high income and owning a home protects against premature death, but not as effectively as having children.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
