Interesting article over at BBC News. The interesting takeaway from it all is this list comparing children of fathers 24 years old with those 20 years older:
- autism was more than three times as likely
- a 13-fold increased risk of ADHD
- double the risk of a psychotic disorder
- 25 times more likely to have bipolar disorder
- 2.5 times more likely to have suicidal behaviour or problems with drugs
- lower scores at school
Now that is quite an impact.
