Research, to be presented today at The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health conference in Glasgow, is a rare piece of good news for the rising number of women who are delaying motherhood.

The research shows that children born to mothers over 40 are healthier and brighter than those of younger women.

The study carried out at the Institute of Child Health, University College London and Birkbeck College, London found that the offspring of older women are less likely to have accidents or need hospital care and more likely to have been vaccinated early.

Children born to older mothers will also develop a broader vocabulary from a young age and achieve higher scores in IQ tests in a range of measures up to the age of five.
