    Children with older fathers and grandfathers 'live longer'

    Delaying fatherhood may offer survival advantages, say US scientists who have found children with older fathers and grandfathers appear to be "genetically programmed" to live longer. The genetic make-up of sperm changes as a man ages and develops DNA code that favours a longer life - a trait he then passes to his children. The team found the link after analysing the DNA of 1,779 young adults.

    Now that is not something which many amongst general population consider when getting married :confused:

    All children have older fathers & grandfathers, this is essential, otherwise causality would be violated.
