Genetic susceptibility to complex diseases are associated with offspring number in humans (Positive associations for 87% of diseases with significant correlations).
“87% of diseases with significant correlations showed positive associations with fertility.”

Genetic susceptibility to complex diseases are associated with parental lifespan in humans (Negative genetic correlations for 85% of diseases).
“We found that 85% of diseases showed negative genetic correlations with longevity”
