Also, the influence of paternal autoimmune diseases on offspring health are being assessed. 

The burden of chronical diseases, including autoimmune diseases, is increasing, and thus also the number of women and men becoming parents, while having these diseases.

Parental diseases at time of conception or during pregnancy will in specific circumstances influence the health of the offspring. Also, use of medical treatment may affect the health of the coming child. Still long-term health in offspring of parents having chronical diseases are less studied. 

Moreover, more attention is needed on the potential influence on paternal health on pregnancy outcomes and health in offspring later in life. Therefore, using data from Danish and Nordic Health registries as well as clinical databases, we aim to investigate the potential influence on selected pregnancy outcomes and diseases in the offspring later in life.
