I'm reposting information about a study (lead author is Leonid Gavrliov, a longevity researcher) that was recently added to a post I made in March. According to the authors of the study, published in 2000, adult daughters born to older fathers (ages 45-55) lived shorter lives, and that each additional year of paternal age the daughters lost about half a year of life on average. Interestingly, sons of older dads did not have a similar decrease.
Lots of interesting demographics here about older parents in general. The study can be found at

Thank you to Dr. Gavrilov for bringing this to my attention.
