Scientists: the duration of the life of a child affected by the father’s age – FTimes

The researchers found that from when the men had their first child, depends how much he will live. Such genetic norm they took the experiment and statistical data.

According to the study, every year his father lived in a period of 20 years and further increases the risk of the death of his child by 1% for each year. That is, if you are over the 30-man a son, so he will live 10% less years than he would have if he had been born when his father was 20.

Also, it was confirmed the hypothesis Finns live the longest in the world. It turned out that their fathers and grandfathers gave birth to 30 years, and another 30% of men – until adulthood. The descendants of those fathers who had children 40 years of age, lived much less.

The scientific explanation of this fact is that with age, sperm men no longer have the same strength, so their quality is reduced, and, accordingly, genetic adaptation to the world of their children.
