For a long time it has been said that children born in different seasons are more or less susceptible to certain illnesses. (…)
A wealth of data shows that your month of birth has very small but noticeable difference in your long term outcome. For example, spring babies end up growing to be a quarter of an inch (0.6 cm) taller than autumn babies.
Some medical conditions also show a fairly strong relationship to birth month. Schizophrenia is uncommon but the risk is increased 10% if you are born in the dark months (winter to early spring). For Multiple Sclerosis, May is a particularly bad month to be born (or November in the Southern hemisphere).
