A wide range of disorders and problems in school-age children have been linked to delayed fatherhood in a major study involving millions of people.
Increased rates of autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, suicide attempts and substance abuse problems were all reported.
The study, in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Psychiatry, suggests mutated sperm were to blame. However, experts say the benefits older dads bring may outweigh any problems.
Comparing children of a 45-year-old dad to those of a 24-year-old father, it indicated that autism was more than three times as likely, that there was a 13-fold increased risk of ADHD and double the risk of a psychotic disorder, and that the child was 25 times more likely to have bipolar disorder.
