As for women, I don’t know. As for men, if the engine is running, then everything is fine, but I read information that if a man marries an older woman, the probability that their child will have Down syndrome is high.
It's true that men have it easier when dating/marrying compared to women, there's no debate here but compared to younger men, older men are more likely to have a sick child compared to a younger man. This makes sense too because older men's bodies are worn out and damaged compared to younger ones.
My father got married at 30 and had me shortly after, he had my siblings in his mid-40s, I believe general health is a good indicator of whether you have healthy children, He is very fit even now in his 50's.
The stats show that it has no significant difference between age. The rise in "likelihood" is very minor in its individual outcome, since from 25 to 29, an already minor "likelihood". For example, what is a 30% rise from 1/2000? It is very low. Is it a rise? Yes. But not to the degree where you have to question if this is dangerous or not. That cannot be said for women.
Let’s be real, in the past in which women didn’t have access to birth control, the vast majority of women that survived back to back kids had their last children in their early to mid-40s.

The issue is that he’s probably trying to date women in their 20s and early 30s. Age gaps aren’t the norm anymore in the Western world unless the man is ultra rich. As a man regardless of how good-looking and fit you come across most women who are significantly younger aren’t going to give you the change unless they’re benefiting financially.
What you know about awoowe worms?Where do you think the saying "old men carry worms" came from?
This is conflating relative vs absolute figures. If I have a 1 in 1000 chance of something occurring and it increased by 5 times as much, the absolute figure is still very low.Let’s be real, in the past in which women didn’t have access to birth control, the vast majority of women that survived back to back kids had their last children in their early to mid-40s.
Women have been having kids in their 40s for eternity since they didn’t have the luxury of preventative measures. Early marriages and and late birthing was part and parcel of the course since menopause usually happens in womens late 40s and early 50s, hence for the life of me, the whole idea of women not having kids in the 40s is indeed a weird modern concept the like the idea of women delaying having kids earlier in life.
Anways, there are a surplus of studies that shows that autism is more interlinked in fathers age than mothers btw. surprisingly, it is also an issue for very young mothers as well, teen mothers basically as well.
‘But a large 2014 study based on Swedish medical records hinted that the odds of autism among children born to fathers older than 45 are about 75 percent higher than for children born to fathers in their early 20s. And a 2010 analysis of Swedish data found that men over 55 are four times as likely to have a child with autism as men under 30.’
The link between parental age and autism, explained
Older men and women are more likely than young ones to have a child with autism, but this connection is not straightforward.
In 2006, a major study conducted by Abraham Reichenberg from Mount Sinai School of Medicine found that children born to men over age 40 were 5.75 times more likely to have autism than children born to men under the age of 30.1 It found no relationship between the age of a female parent and autistic offspring, however.
Either way, as Muslims we believe in Qadr. Demonizing older parents regardless of gender is just stupid since, even if a woman or man gets married young, that’s not going to stop them from having even more children later on. My mother married young, and had kids young, yet two of my siblings were born after she turned 38 and was well in her mid 40s when she had her last and it was the same for my gran and the women before as well.
Show me the studies of these figures please.
