Older women are more likely to conceive twins because rising concentrations of a naturally occurring hormone over-stimulate their ovaries, according to a new study.

The discovery by a team of scientists from Amsterdams Vrije Universiteit, revealed in Thursdays edition of the journal Human Reproduction, solves a riddle that has been perplexing the medical profession for years.

The findings give credence to previous theories that the rising concentrations of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) that occur as women age can cause some ovaries to go into overdrive, tripping them into a state where they have simultaneous double ovulation, they said.

Identical twins come from a fertilised egg dividing to develop two babies. Non-identical twins occur when two eggs are fertilised at the same time.

One of the researchers, Cornelius Lambalk, said the discovery helped to explain why there was a surge in the number of non-identical twins born to older women at the same time as their general state of fertility was declining due to age.

This rise has not been entirely due to treatment for infertility, he said.

About half of the increase has been caused by the number of spontaneous multiple pregnancies probably due to the fact that women are delaying childbirth to a later age.
