Scientists advised women to have children from young men
A group of scientists from Stanford University conducted a series of experiments and research and called for women Fathers choose their future children of younger men.
Previously it was believed that only the age of the mother is important for the child's health - the more he is, the higher are the risks of genetic abnormalities in the fetus and problems when carrying a baby. However, scientists have now stated that father's age is equally important.
Researchers have analyzed health data 40 thousand children who were born in the period from 2007 to 2016.
It turned out that babies, whose dads at the time of conception were over 45 years old, were born weaker and in general cannot boast of excellent health.
Such age popes, according to the head of the research team, increase the likelihood of preterm birth by 14%.
The risks of fetal pathologies and paternal factor pregnancy begin to increase after man will celebrate his 35th birthday. They are associated with changes in DNA in germ cells - under the influence of the environment, ecology, junk food and bad habits, as well as unavoidable stress, the genetic material of a man is getting worse and worse.
Officially, the results of the study were published in a reputable scientific publication. British Medical Journal.
Children who are born from fathers over 45 receive an average of lower Apgar score (This is a system of rapid assessment of the status of newborns for a number of important features).
The study also showed that women, even young but conceiving a child from an older man, increased by 18% the risk of acquired gestational diabetes and gestosis while carrying a baby.
Of course, a lot depends on what kind of lifestyle led a man - a potential dad. If he always tried to play sports, adhered to the rules of healthy and proper nutrition, did not smoke and did not abuse alcohol and drugs, then the chances of longer maintaining a normal genetic set of his sperm cells increase.
Stanford University stated that the need for such analytical and microbiological research is dictated by time - around the world appeared and is gaining momentum an alarming tendency to late fatherhood.
Daddy and become 45, and 50, and even 70 years. On the one hand, the birth of a baby is a holiday at any age, but on the other hand, a woman who gives birth to a child from an aged partner is at great risk, because neither she nor doctors can affect the quality of genetic material, and a child can be born sick.
To minimize the risks of paternal factor, scientists recommended women to choose fathers for their children from 25 to 33 years old. This is the optimal age at which the harmful effects of external factors on the genetic material of spermatozoa are not so great.
But also too young men should not be chosen - in terms of genetic abnormalities, the age of the pope is also dangerous up to 20 years.
