Al Pacino at 83, Robert De Niro, at 79, become fathers: Do dads' age affect their children?

Firstpost  

Hollywood star Al Pacino is reportedly expecting a baby with his 29-year-old partner Noor Alfallah. A 2015 study published in the journal Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology found “disturbing links between increased paternal age and rising disorders in their offspring”. Another study published in the journal BMJ claimed that children of men aged 45-54 are 14 per cent more susceptible to premature birth and low birth weight, as compared to the progeny of fathers in the 25-34 age group. Reuters File Photo The 2018 BMJ study’s lead author Michael Eisenberg explained how paternal age affects the health of a child. Citing a 2019 study, Medical News Today reported that “men over 45 are more likely to father children with birth abnormalities, low birth weight, and a low Apgar score — a measure of the baby’s general health at birth”.
