    Husband's age has a minor impact on conception probability, especially compared to marriage duration and wife's age, across most developing countries studied. This finding is crucial for understanding fertility patterns in diverse populations.

    Area of Science:

    • Demography
    • Reproductive Health
    • Sociology

    Background:

    • Fertility rates are influenced by various demographic and social factors.
    • Understanding the specific impact of parental age on conception is essential for reproductive health research.
    • Previous studies have explored maternal age effects, but paternal age effects require further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effect of husband's age on the probability of conception.
    • To analyze conception rates in second and higher-order birth intervals.
    • To compare the influence of husband's age with other factors like wife's age and marriage duration.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized World Fertility Survey data from five developing countries: Ivory Coast, Ghana, Kenya, Sudan, and Syria.

  • Employed proportional hazards models to analyze monthly conception rates.
  • Included covariates such as wife's age, husband's age, marriage duration, union type, and post-partum exposure.

    • Main Results:

    • The effect of husband's age on conception probability was found to be generally small.
    • Marital duration and wife's age were identified as more significant factors influencing conception rates.
    • This pattern was consistent across most studied countries, with Syria showing a slightly different trend.

    Conclusions:

    • Paternal age is a less dominant factor in conception probability compared to marital duration and maternal age in the studied populations.
    • The findings have implications for demographic modeling and family planning interventions.
    • Further research may explore cultural nuances affecting parental age and fertility.
