How old do you always mean?

Compared with men of marriageable childbearing age (30-35 years old), those who become fathers after 40 years old are called "elderly fathers". Therefore, the age of "seniors" is also relative.

Unlike mothers, fathers have no restrictions on reproductive age. However, although the elderly father has fertility, the health and intelligence of the baby are different. This issue has been studied at home and abroad. The research on children with unexplained mental retardation shows that the older the father, the higher the incidence of mental retardation of children, and the worse the performance of children in intelligence tests.

Generally speaking, the offspring born between the ages of 30 and 35 are the smartest, and the older the mother is, the better the IQ of the child will be.

Related to the problem:

When you get old, it seems that your family will be warmer because of new members. But it also reduces the ability of the whole family to guard against risks. For example, both parents were born in their fifties. Later, my father fell ill, but he didn't want to spend money to see a doctor because he had to save money. Finally, his illness dragged on, and he lost his ability to work.

Obviously, this is a devastating blow to the family. A family can only live by borrowing money. If parents are not born and the financial pressure is not so great, they may still have money to treat diseases, enjoy life and spend their old age safely. When you get old, you don't have to suffer from illness and poverty. And you don't have to make money with your mother at an early age. Is getting old a blessing or a curse? Sometimes it really takes time to test.
