The increasing trend of the two lines shows the positive association of maternal age at last child and exceptional longevity. The downwards shift of the lines for increasing parity shows the negative effect of parity on the odds for exceptional longevity. For example, while a difference in maternal age at last child of about 14 years increases the odds for exceptional longevity by 2 in women with 1 or 2 children, the same effect in women with 3+ children would require a difference of 24 years in age at last child.
