Teenage Fathers Are More Likely To Have Babies Affected By Birth Problems Than Father - 08-02-2008, 07:21 AM

Teenage fathers are at increased risk of having babies born with birth problems ranging from pre-term delivery or low birth weight, through to death in or near to the time of delivery, according to new research in Human Reproduction journal. In contrast, the study also found that fathers aged 40 and over were not at increased risk of having babies affected by these problems. Previous studies have shown that younger men can have lower sperm counts, semen volume, total numbers of spermatozoa and percentage of motile sperm. Immature sperm may be associated with adverse birth outcomes, possibly as a result of the abnormal formation of the placenta in the uterus.
