A peer-reviewed study of historical Polish families has revealed a heartwarming link: fathers with daughters tend to live longer.
Each daughter was associated with about 1.4 extra years of life for dad. Broader data from Sweden also shows that having children adds years to a parent’s life, pointing to emotional support and care as key factors.
The findings highlight how strong family bonds—especially with daughters—can boost longevity.
