More Twins than Ever
According to a study recently published in the journal Human Reproduction , twin births have risen by a third worldwide since the 1980s . About 1.6 million twins are born each year and one in every 42 babies is a twin . A big reason for all those twins is an increase in medically assisted reproduction , including in vitro fertilisation , ovarian stimulation and artificial insemination . Another reason is that women in many countries are having babies at older ages and the chances of having twins increases with age . For the study , researchers analysed 2010-2015 data from 165 countries with 99 per cent of the world ' s population . They also looked at 1980-1985 data from 112 countries . They found substantial increases in twinning in many European countries , North America and in Asia .
