The secret to a long life might be how old your father or grandfather was when they reproduced.

If you could find out how long you had to live, would you want to know? Well, for those brave enough to seek an answer, scientists studying aging at Northwestern University have discovered a surprising biological cue that could help predict length of life, according to MedicalXpress.com.
 
The cue? Look to dear old dad. In fact, the older, the better. Researchers found that fathers who waited until they were older to have children tended to spawn kids that were more biologically equipped to live longer.
 
"If our recent ancestors waited until later in adulthood before they reproduced, perhaps for cultural reasons, it would make sense for our bodies to prepare for something similar by investing the extra resources necessary to maintain healthy functioning at more advanced ages," said Christopher W. Kuzawa, co-author of the study and associate professor of anthropology at Northwestern, when describing the working hypothesis of the study.
 
The study, conducted in the Philippines, confirmed a direct correlation between the age of a man when he became a father and the average length of his children's telomeres at birth. Telomeres are strands of repetitive nucleotides that are found on the ends of chromosomes and are believed to protect the chromosomes from deterioration. Because telomeres shorten each time the chromosomes replicate, the longer they are to begin with, the more resistant DNA is to aging. Or at least, that's the theory.
 
Interestingly, the study didn't just find the correlation to exist between fathers and their children, but also between grandfathers and their grandchildren. In other words, the effect seems to carry over across at least two generations. So even if your father reproduced at a young age, if his father reproduced at a later age you may still reap the benefits of longer telomeres.
 
"The idea that information about the environment can be passed on biochemically from one generation to the next is certainly not something new," said M. Geoffrey Hayes, co-author of the study, assistant professor of medicine at Northwestern's Feinberg School of Medicine. "But what is quite unique in the case of our telomere study is that we're seeing an association across more than one generation."
 
Although further study is needed over a longer period of time to determine if the children of older fathers really do live longer, the fact that they are born with longer telomeres has researchers confident that the answer will be yes.
 
Even so, the researchers cautioned men against delaying reproduction until too late in life. Previous studies have shown that older fathers are also more likely to pass along harmful mutations to their offspring. So there's some risk involved in choosing to be an older father too.

Title: Men 'live longer' if they marry a younger woman

Men are likely to live longer if they marry a younger woman, new research suggests.
A man's chances of dying early are cut by a fifth if their bride is between 15 and 17 years their junior.
The risk of premature death is reduced by 11 per cent if they marry a woman seven to nine years younger.
The study at Germany's Max Planck Institute also found that men marrying older women are more likely to die early. The results suggest that women do not experience the same benefits of marrying a toy boy or a sugar daddy. Wives with husbands older or younger by between seven and nine years increase their chances of dying early by 20 per cent. This rises to 30 per cent if the age difference is close to 15 and 17 years.
Scientists say the figures for men may be the result of natural selection – that only the healthiest, most successful older men are able to attract younger mates.
"Another theory is that a younger woman will care for a man better and therefore he will live longer," said institute spokesman Sven Drefahl.
The study examined deaths between 1990 and 2005 for the entire population of Denmark.
On average in Europe, most men marry women around three years younger

What if .....
The Sun Fri, 22 Jun 2012 By DIANE BENUSSI, Specialist in family and matrimonial law

LEADING UK lawyer Diane Benussi says there has been a big rise in the number of cases involving “Piranhas” – single women who have children by rich men in order to chase them for long-term financial support.
Here, the specialist in matrimonial and family law at Benussilaw.co.uk, explains her take on The Piranha Phenomenon.  

IN the past year I have seen a big increase in the number of wealthy men who have been the victims of Piranhas.
These are cases where I believe rich men have been targeted by gold-digging women who fall pregnant on purpose as a career move.
The relationship barely lasts but thanks to their child the woman is free to demand he pays out a monthly “wage”.
Forget about having a baby to secure a council house. Have a child with a loaded lover and you can secure yourself a MANSION.

Each case is different but almost inevitably the men tend to be richer — and older. After all, what middle-aged, balding man wouldn’t be flattered to have a gorgeous girl focusing all of her attention on him?
All the Piranha needs is a fleeting moment in bed and most men are sucked in by her charms before they even realise what is happening.
These gold-diggers have discovered they don’t even need to go to the trouble of marrying their prey.

Instead, by luring him into conceiving a child, they can then hit him where it hurts — directly in the wallet.

Warning ... [says] lawyer Diane Benussi
Schedule 1 of the Children Act 1989 is designed to ensure a child — whether or not the father has any direct involvement in their life — is provided for while a dependent. This can involve financial support for 20 years.


On top of a monthly allowance for the child — £4,000 is a typical amount — Piranhas can sink their teeth into a furnished house, car, nursery and university fees — even money for holidays.

It isn’t unusual for a settlement to reach upwards of £2million for what might have been nothing more than a one-night stand.

So if you’re an aesthetically challenged wealthy man and you’re approached by a beautiful woman, beware.

Ask yourself what she’s really interested in — is it your brains and your body, or your bank balance and having your baby?
;D ;)

Title: Study links older dads to healthier children
Post by: juan on May 07, 2015, 09:37:22 PM
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Dallas Morning News
Published: 11 June 2012 06:39 PM


NEW YORK -- Finally, some good news for older dads. A new study hints that their children and even their grandchildren may get a health benefit because of their older age.

It's based on research into something called telomeres - tips on the ends of chromosomes.

Some previous studies have associated having longer telomeres (TEE-loh-meers) with better health and longer lives. Telomeres haven't been proven to cause those benefits in the general population, but a number of researchers think they may hold secrets for things like longevity and cancer.

As you age, telomeres shorten. However, previous studies have shown that the older a man is when he becomes a father, the longer the telomeres his children tend to have. The new research confirms that and finds it's extended to the grandchildren.

That's a cheerier result for older dads than some other studies in recent years that indicate their kids are at heightened risk for things like autism, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

The new work didn't look at health outcomes. That's a future step, said researcher Dan T.A. Eisenberg of Northwestern University. He presents the results with colleagues in Monday's issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Carol Greider of Johns Hopkins University, who shared a Nobel Prize in 2009 for telomere research but who didn't participate in the new study, said it's no surprise that the telomere effect would extend beyond children to grandchildren.

She cautioned that since older fathers also tend to pass more potentially harmful genetic mutations, it's "not at all clear" whether advanced paternal age gives an overall health benefit to children. In a statement, the Northwestern researchers said their study shouldn't be taken as a recommendation that men reproduce at older ages, because there's a risk of mutations.

The researchers' work involved an analysis of telomeres in blood samples from a large, multigenerational study in the Philippines.

One analysis of about 2,000 people confirmed the idea that the older your dad was when you were born, the longer your telomeres tend to be. That held true throughout the age range of the fathers, who were 15 to 43 at the time their sons or daughters were born.

Researchers then extended that another generation: The older your father's father was when your father was born, the longer your telomeres tend to be. That analysis included 234 grandchildren. A separate analysis found no significant effect from the mother's father.

The telomere contribution from a grandfather adds to the one from the father, researchers found.

Some previous studies of the impact of older fatherhood have been less encouraging. In 2010, for example, at least two big studies confirmed a link to having children with autism, with one finding that a father's age makes the biggest difference when the mother is young. In 2008, a big Swedish study strengthened evidence linking bipolar disorder to older paternal ages, although researchers said the risk was still so low that it shouldn't discourage older men from having children.

Very nice and informative post. I have also this kind of experience that older fathers reproduce healthy child. So, i agree with you.
