Why are people born in autumn and winter often longevity

A German study showed that people born in autumn and winter often live longer than other seasons of the year.

According to Health Sina, research by scientists from Columbia University shows that different birth seasons greatly affect human life. People born in the autumn are more likely to live longer than the group born in the spring, the rate of illness in old age is also less.

People born in the winter have a very low rate of cardiovascular disease and diabetes after age 50.

Especially for people over 50 years of age, the relationship between season and health is even more obvious. Statistics in Austria show that people born between October and December have an average life expectancy of more than 7 years of birth between April and June. The number of people born in December living longer than 100 years old is 16% more than with the general population.

A study by the University of Chicago also showed that people born in the winter have a very low incidence of cardiovascular disease and diabetes after age 50. While Columbia University research found that people born in October were more likely to get sick, they had a relatively high life expectancy. The reason may be that they are influenced by the environment early on, making the body more susceptible to disease, but also thereby increasing the regeneration of the body environment, such as increasing immunity against the causative agent. harm. It is also possible that they get sick earlier so they have a better sense of health care and pay attention to practicing a healthy lifestyle.

However, the above conclusion is only a suggestion from the aggregate data of the population surveys. This finding has opened up a new direction, attracting the interest of many scientists to continue to expand research to understand the underlying cause of this situation.
