Wie beunruhigend ist das steigende Alter von Vätern bei der Geburt eines Kindes? : Eine historische Einordnung

Willführ, Kai Pierre LU and Klüsener, Sebastian (2025) In Gynakologische Endokrinologie 23(4). p.262-266
Abstract

In recent decades the average paternal age at childbirth has risen sharply. Many researchers from various disciplines are alarmed, as the offspring of older fathers have a higher risk of many diseases; however, previous studies lack a historical perspective. A new analysis shows that in many countries the current levels of average paternal age at childbirth were just as high in the past as today.
