American researchers have found that the month and season in which a person is born may influence both their health and how long they live.
Key findings from the study:
- People born in autumn are more likely to become long-lived — they have up to a 40% higher chance of living longer than those born in spring.
- Those born in winter are more prone to certain mental illnesses but are less likely to develop allergies or myopia.
- Children born at the start of the academic year tend to perform better at school due to age-related advantages in early education.
- Optimism matters — people with a positive outlook tend to live longer than pessimists.
Scientists emphasize that the birth month is just one of many factors influencing longevity — along with genetics, health, and mindset.
