Career-focused men have been warned they are almost as much at risk as women if they leave it too late to start a family.<\/p>\n
Despite Al Pacino, 83, and Robert De Niro, 80, becoming dads again, fertility experts advise men to start trying for a baby by 35.<\/p>\n
‘We always hear about career women ignoring ticking biological clocks but this is just as much a problem in men,’ said Prof Allan Pacey of Manchester University, co-author of a new study.<\/p>\n
‘Men are not committing to becoming fathers because they aren’t ready to get off the work treadmill, or think they need to earn a certain amount of money.<\/p>\n
‘Men’s careers are also stopping them from putting enough time into having sex frequently, making it less likely they will get their partner pregnant.’<\/p>\n

Never too late: Al Pacino, 83 had a son, Roman, with girlfriend Noor Alfallah, 29, in June<\/p>\n
The study, in the journal Nature Reviews Urology, warns men who start trying for a baby after 40 that their poorer sperm quality can raise the risk of miscarriage.<\/p>\n
If they are over 50, their babies are at a higher risk of autism and schizophrenia.<\/p>\n
Pacino had a son, Roman, with girlfriend Noor Alfallah, 29, in June and De Niro had a daughter, Gia, with his girlfriend Tiffany Chen, 45, in April.<\/p>\n

Robert de Niro, 80, and his girlfriend Tiffany Chen , 45, welcomed their first child together in April, marking the seventh time Robert became a father\u00a0<\/p>\n
