Many studies exist on the impact of female age on fertility, success of assisted reproductive technologies and on obstetric, fetal and neonatal adverse outcomes. Late paternity seems commonplace especially in the media… But there are reliable scientific data which confirm decline of fertility related to male age but also an increased risk of genetic diseases for the offspring. The objective of this article is to make a synthesis of the literature on the consequences of the delay of procreation in men on spontaneous fertility, results of assisted reproductive technologies and progeny's health.
