Article Abstract:

Men and their physicians should understand the effects of the male biological clock on sexual and reproductive health, as well as its potential contributions to major medical consequences such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and the metabolic syndrome. A better understanding of the male biological clock might reduce adverse outcomes in offspring of older fathers and might help facilitate progress to reduce the risks of metabolic syndrome and other health problems.
