Randeep Hooda, 49, Expecting Baby; Doctors Detail Older Fatherhood Risks

• Actor Randeep Hooda (49) and wife Lin Laishram (39) announced they are expecting a baby.
• Doctors state that fatherhood at an older age, such as 49, can be risky for men.
• Male fertility, including sperm quality and count, typically declines after age 40, making conception more challenging.
• Women conceiving with older men face an increased risk of miscarriage due to potential DNA damage and chromosomal abnormalities in sperm.
• Doctors advise older men seeking fatherhood to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including diet, weight management, and avoiding smoking/alcohol.

Why It Matters: Older fatherhood presents health risks for men, partners, and offspring.
