What are the hidden dangers of older men having children?

Regarding childbearing, many men who want to have their own children as soon as possible want to know more about their age. If they are at an advanced age, will it have any impact on their offspring? Therefore, many older men want to know what are the hidden dangers of older men having children in order to give birth to their own offspring as soon as possible. In order for you to understand as soon as possible, please see the following introduction.

The upper limit of childbearing age for women is lower than that for men. There is a reason why nature makes women stop childbearing earlier than men - mothers are crucial to the growth of children, and women who stop childbearing earlier will help them accompany their last child to adulthood. If both men and women can continue to give birth until they are over 70 years old, there will be many underage orphans whose parents have both died. Indeed, the difficulty of conception increases with age for women as they get older; and the same is true for men, whose fertility gradually decreases after reaching the peak. However, when it comes to elderly mothers, people often think of the fertility risks of the mother and the congenital deficiencies of the newborn; and when it comes to elderly fathers, people often think of the pride of having a son in his old age. The concept that "elderly mothers have a negative impact on the health of newborns" and "a man's age does not affect his ability to give birth to healthy children" is deeply rooted in people's minds and is not often questioned. Even the health sections of the media have not been able to avoid this bias when reporting on such topics, further deepening the cognitive bias of the general public.

For a long time, the patriarchal society has regarded women's reproductive function as men's wealth, and often used reproductive function to measure women's value. Leftover women are bound to cause dissatisfaction among men because they have not given birth to any man. Therefore, public opinion's personal attacks on leftover women must convey the derogatory meaning that "leftover women have no value in reproduction" or even "leftover women endanger the quality of the next generation." I don't have some examples of public opinion here. These public opinions not only make women think that late marriage and late childbirth will bring great risks to themselves, but may even make women feel that their late marriage and late childbirth are sorry for others, sorry for society, and sorry for the next generation.

Who is more sorry for the next generation, the elderly mother or the elderly father?

The average first marriage age for men in our country is higher than that for women, so almost every elderly mother has an even older father behind her. If children born to elderly mothers have more health problems than those born to younger mothers, how can we determine whose age is the main cause of the child's illness?

If you search for the relationship between older fathers and newborn health on Chinese websites, you can indeed find some articles pointing out that older men giving birth can increase the incidence of neonatal mortality, dementia, autism, epilepsy, schizophrenia and schizophrenia. However, most of the articles that indicate the source of the conclusions are from the same research report Eur J Epidemiol. 2005;20(12):1003-5.Paternal age and epilepsy in the offspring.Vestergaard M, Mork A, Madsen KM, Olsen J. The information is very scarce. Moreover, these articles about father age and newborn health either do not mention which age of the father or mother has a greater impact on the child's health, or point out that older mothers are more likely to induce a certain disease in newborns than older fathers. Are there any neonatal diseases that are mainly attributed to the father's old age? If we look at the incidence rates of various congenital neonatal diseases together, which is more closely related to the age of the father or the mother? The Chinese website could not answer my question, but the results of a search of English academic literature would definitely surprise everyone.

What are the hidden dangers for older men to have children? The above is a specific introduction. For many older men, I believe that you will have more understanding through the above introduction. If older men want to have their own offspring, this will have an impact on the next generation, because the older they are, the more hidden dangers there are to the children. Therefore, for many people who want children, it is best to have their own children when they are young.
