A new study has found that in addition to the age of women, the age of men also plays a critical role in how successful a female is in getting pregnant.
The Human Reproduction study, published on June 30, looked at how advanced paternal age (APA) impacts live birth rates (LBRs) in IVF/ICSI treatment, two forms of assisted reproductive treatment. It took a retrospective analysis of 18,825 autologous IVF/ICSI cycles. Researchers found that among women under the age of 35 or over 40, the age of the male partner made little difference in their chances of giving birth.
