Offspring of Older Fathers May Have Subtle Neurocognitive Impairments CME

March 18, 2009 — The offspring of older fathers show subtle impairments on tests of neurocognitive ability during infancy and childhood, according to the results of a study reported in the March 10 issue of PLoS Medicine. "Advanced paternal age (APA) is associated with an increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism and schizophrenia, as well as with dyslexia and reduced intelligence," write Sukanta Saha, from Queensland Centre for Mental Health Research, The Park Centre for Mental Health, in Richlands, Australia, and colleagues. "The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between paternal age and performance on neurocognitive measures during infancy and childhood."

*Advanced paternal age is related to poorer neurocognitive measures, and advanced maternal age is related to superior neurocognitive measures in offspring during infancy and childhood.

*Advanced paternal age is linked with scores in the lowest 10% for 3 of the neurocognitive measures: the Bayley Motor Scale, the Graham Ernhart Block Sort Test, and the WISC Full Scale IQ based on logistic regression analyses.

I didn't really need confirmation or validation for dating a younger man; but it seems the best way to improve the countries gene pool is for older women to hook up with younger men. :wink:

Hmmmmmmm, could someone be a bit biased here? LOL! A friend of my mothers told me years ago to find someone younger than me because on average women die later anyway so it all averages out that way, not to mention sustained firepower! LOL!

Well it makes sense that an older woman and younger man should be together because they are both just hitting their sexual stride at about the same time. :cool: Does this mean that all those 60 yr old guys with 25 year old wives are ones polluting the gene pool with babies who may have more neurocognitive handicaps? :confused:

I've always thought of this! I don't want any children so the part about babies doesn't apply to me, but I don't want to be an old widow alone... I want to be an old married woman! :biggrin1:

Then there's the stamina thing... I need to find me a younger, athletic man! I don't seem to meet too many of those though! :frown1:

Gee, I hope I didn't get the last good, 100% straight, Texas man. :wink: You may have to get yourself an Okie. :tongue: :lmao:

100% straight, Texas man...........................like there are any 100% str8 men in texas
Technically, mine has been a Georgian for many years, but he is a Texan by birth. Not for nothing, but it is a big state. It would be mathematically impossible for all the men in Texas to be gay or bi. :cool:

my dad started very young, and i do feel pretty smart, so maybe it's tru.

i think genetics plays a significant role too, if u researched history i'd bet there are some geniuses out there who had an older dad.
