Mp19-01 attributable cases of cancer and neurocognitive disorders in children in the united states based on paternal age

The mean age of fathers in the United States is on the rise. Several reports have suggested that advanced paternal age increases the risk of cancer, psychiatric disease, chromosomal abnormalities, and failing grades in offspring, yet unlike for maternal age, little is known about the quantitative impact of older fathers on these diseases. We thus sought to model the increase in offspring disease between 1972 and 2015 attributable to demographic trends of increasing paternal age within the United States.
