With changing social perceptions, more and more men are starting to consider fatherhood at the age of 40 or even later. However, even though men do not have a clear fertility deadline like women, age still impacts their fertility and the health of their offspring. Let’s uncover the four truths behind male fertility.
Are Men Really Not Affected by Age?
It is generally believed that men can father children at any stage of their lives, but this does not mean that high-age fatherhood is without risks. As men age, their fertility and sperm quality gradually decline, especially after the age of 40. Although the window for reproduction is relatively long, men still need to pay attention to the timing of reproduction and their physical condition.
Does Age Decrease Sperm Quality?
Age is not the only factor determining sperm quality. While younger men are generally considered to have higher sperm quality, unhealthy lifestyles can affect their fertility. For example, smoking, excessive drinking, and long-term stress can lower sperm quality. In contrast, men over 40 who maintain a healthy lifestyle may have better sperm quality. Therefore, men should focus on their lifestyles and develop good health habits early on.
The Impact of Older Fathers on Offspring
As men age, their sperm may contain more genetic mutations, which can increase the risk of hereditary diseases in their offspring. Studies have shown that the likelihood of children born to men over 40 developing autism, schizophrenia, and other neurodevelopmental disorders increases. Additionally, older men also face a higher risk of chromosomal abnormalities in their sperm, leading to a higher chance of miscarriage and birth defects.
The Golden Period of Male Fertility
Similar to women, men's fertility peaks within a certain age range. Generally, men in their 30s have the highest sperm quality and can maintain it for several years. However, as age increases, sperm quality and motility gradually decline. Therefore, men planning to have children should ideally choose to do so during this time frame to improve their success rates and reduce the risk of genetic diseases.
Measures to Maintain Fertility
Men wishing to have healthy offspring at an older age can take several measures to increase their chances of successful reproduction. First, they should have regular health check-ups to understand their reproductive health status. Second, maintaining a balanced diet, exercising moderately, and reducing unhealthy habits like smoking and drinking is essential. Additionally, modern assisted reproductive technologies, such as IVF-PGT, can help older men increase their chances of successful reproduction through sperm selection and genetic testing, ensuring the health of their offspring.
