Melbourne [Australia]: The results of a new study has found that children who are conceived via assisted reproductive technology (ART), such as IVF, may get some advantages in quality of life in adulthood. The results of a new study were published in the journal, 'Human Fertility'.
The study has reassured news for people who have been conceived with ART and those who need to use the technology to conceive.
"Our findings suggest that being ART-conceived can provide some advantages on quality of life in adulthood, independent of other psychosocial factors," said lead author Karin Hammarberg of Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. "Together with previous evidence that adults conceived by ART have the similar physical health to those who were naturally conceived, this is reassuring for people who were conceived with ART -- and those who need ART to conceive," he added.
