phew. my father was 40 when I was born. just missed it. means Im safe.
If you made it to adult hood then you are safe. This article is talking about men over 45 that have kids. They supposedly have a double chance of not making it to adulthood than those born to younger dads. What they failed to take into account is the age of the mother when the kid was born which could have a lot to do with this as well. As matter of fact, the age of the mother probably has much more to do with this than the age of the father. So unless all these men had kids with women in their 20s then this study is piratically meaningless.
