According to a new study, parental age plays a crucial factor during childbirth through IVF with a male partner over 40 and above likely to negatively affect birth rate.

The study found women who were between 35 and 40 and had a partner over 40 and above were less likely to conceive. The research looked at 19,000 IVF cycles. The study found that eggs from a younger female have the capacity to repair DNA damage from ageing male sperm. The research found when the woman is over 40 the egg quality lowers and it is less likely to repair damage found in the sperm.

Normally a women's age was seen as a crucial factor during childbirth however the researchers said parental age should not be ignored and the focus on a women's biological clock should not be the sole focus.

The UK study analysed the age of both men and women in over 18,000 IVF and ICSI cycles. The study found a drop in childbirth when the parental age was between 40 and 44 to 27 per cent compared to 32 per cent when the parents were under 35.

The research said childbirth fell to 25 per cent when a male partner was over 55 years old.

Men were earlier believed to be able to conceive into their old age but researchers emphasised that the effect of ageing egg and sperm needed to studied more closely. &nbsp;

Male 'biological clock' crucial factor during childbirth, study finds

Regular practice of Yoga by men can reduce the incidence of recurrent spontaneous abortion as it improves the quality of sperm DNA, according to a study conducted by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi.

The study was conducted by experts from the Department of Anatomy in collaboration with the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and was published in Andrologia in October and the International Journal of Scientific Research, February edition.

As part of the study, 60 male partners in couples with idiopathic recurrent spontaneous abortions were made to practice Yoga regularly, said Rima Dada, professor-in-charge of Laboratory of Molecular Reproduction and Genetics, Department of Anatomy at AIIMS.

"These men had no history of performing Yoga prior to inclusion in the study. They were made to do yoga for 90 days.

"These had seminal oxidative stress (excess free radicals) and sperm DNA damage which impairs normal embryonic development post fertilisation and thus results in abortion," Dada said.

Dada said unhealthy social habits like smoking, excess alcohol consumption, fast food calorie dense and nutritionally depleted food, sedentary lifestyle, excessive use of mobile phones, high levels of psychological stress, obesity all contribute to oxidative stress and DNA damage.

Sperm DNA integrity is vital for birth of healthy offspring and impacts its lifelong health.

"Mature sperm has a very basic and incomplete DNA repair mechanism, thus it is better to follow a policy of prevention is better than cure by following a healthy lifestyle (increased intake of whole unprocessed plant based foods) and minimising exposure or intake of factors causing oxidative stress that compromise genomic integrity," she said.

The adoption of yoga has shown to lower OS, reduce DNA fragmentation, and thus improve genomic integrity and normalise sperm transcripts, positively impacting the sperm epigenome.

This may aid in normal embryonic development and reduce incidence of genetic and epigenetic defects in the offspring and reduce incidence of spontaneous abortions, she said.&nbsp;
