Abstract

Old age leads to a series of changes both in male and female organisms and increasing male age is considered to affect spermatogenesis and fertilization as well. Recently, the upward shift in paternal age has accelerated research on the effects of advanced male age. Most studies maintain that semen parameters; in particular, sperm mobility, semen volume, and the number of sperms with normal morphology are adversely affected by the increase in male age, while sperm concentration remains unchanged. However, these age-dependent changes are at a moderate level and it is still uncertain whether this phenomenon has an impact on delayed fertility. The relationship between advanced male age and the qualitative and quantitative changes in sperm chromosomes is a controversial subject of current interest. Consequently, further studies to be conducted on elderly men with no systemic or reproductive health-related problems in which maternal age will be eliminated could provide more tangible information.

Özet

Yaşlılık, hem erkek hem de kadın organizmasında bir dizi değişikliğe yol açarken, ilerleyen erkek yaşının spermatogenezi ve fertilizasyonu da etkileyebileceği düşünülmektedir. Günümüzde babalık yaşının ileri yaşlara kayması, ileri erkek yaşının etkileri konusundaki araştırmaları hızlandırmıştır. Çoğu çalışma erkek yaşının ilerlemesiyle semen parametrelerinden özellikle sperm hareketliliği, semen hacmi ve normal morfolojideki sperm sayısının olumsuz etkilendiğini savunurken, sperm konsantrasyonunun ise değişmeden kaldığını bildirmektedir. Ancak bu yaşa bağlı değişikliklerin ılımlı düzeyde olduğu ve bu durumun geciken fertilitede etkisi olup olmadığı henüz açıklık kazanmamıştır. İleri erkek yaşı ile sperm kromozomlarında kalitatif ve kantitatif değişikliklerin ilişkisi tartışmalı bir konu olarak güncelliğini korumaktadır. Sonuç olarak maternal yaşın ekarte edildiği ve sistemik veya üreme sağlığı açısından sorunu olmayan yaşlı erkeklerde yapılacak daha fazla çalışmanın daha somut bilgiler verebilir.
