Are kids with older dads stupider?
A study out of Australia purports that children that have older fathers seem to get lower scores on intelligence tests administered during infancy and childhood. (We’re a bit fuzzy on how you give a baby an IQ test, but whatever.) On the flip side, children with older mothers have higher test scores — so all you cougars out there, try to squeeze out one last kid, they might be a genius.
Recent studies have drawn links between older fathers and specific health problems in their children, including birth deformities and cancer, as well as neuropsychiatric conditions such as autism and schizophrenia.
In the study, the researchers analysed data from intelligence tests taken by 33,437 children who were born between 1959 and 1965 in the United States.
