New studies suggest children born to older
men may be at raised risk of a string of genetic
disorders and diseases, including autism,
schizophrenia and developmental problems
such as dwarfism and cleft palate. Some have
even linked having an older father to
Alzheimer's disease, bipolar disorder
(previously known as manic depression), heart
disease and cancer.
For decades, women have been urged to have
children while they're young ( 18-35) to avoid
the risk of their children developing conditions
associated with the mother's advancing age,
such as Down's syndrome or avoid facing a
greater risk of infertility, miscarriage and
health problems during pregnancy.
But now, scientists warn that a man in his 40s
is twice as likely to pass down potentially
disease-forming genetic mutations as a man in
his 20s. In other words, the biological clock
ticks for men, too.
The theory could cause a fundamental shift in
sexual politics, halting the trend for older
parenthood in its tracks and prompting women
to think twice when choosing the men who
father their children.
And, as one expert told the Mail, we could be
facing a major public health issue as more
children are born with genetic disorders to
parents who are
