It is grounded in the paper by the late Leslie B. Raschka, M.D. who tried to warn the world that schizophrenia and other disorders can becaused by fathering babies past the age of 33. He wrote his paper before the large studies were published showing this to be true and he was marginalized. He died in 2003. This site has many more interesting studies and it highlights the fact that the age of a person's father is vitally important, especially to daughters, who at younger paternal age can run into severe health problems.
