“…Prior evidence from the US,45 Sweden,67 Germany,89 Austria,1011 Denmark,1011 Australia,10 Lithuania,12 Japan,13 and Spain14 has related seasonal birth month effect to all cause and cardiovascular mortality in later life. Consistent with our current findings, two large longitudinal studies in Sweden (including over six million and four million people, respectively) with 20 years follow-up, reported the lowest cardiovascular mortality among participants born in November 67.…”

“…Later life familial and socioeconomic factors might also be associated with overall and cardiovascular mortality in adulthood 34. However, to our knowledge, none of these previous studies has been able to adequately control for these factors and other potential confounders,4567891011121314 limiting the interpretability of their findings 235…”

“…Previous studies have identified associations between season and month of birth and overall and cardiovascular disease related mortality in the United States,45 Sweden,67 Germany,89 Austria,1011 Denmark,1011 Australia,10 Lithuania,12 Japan,13 and Spain 14. Results from the northern hemisphere show relatively consistently that individuals born in November have the lowest risk of overall and cardiovascular mortality, whereas individuals born in the spring or summer (peaking in May) have the highest mortality risk 45678910111213. By contrast, in the southern hemisphere, the pattern of seasonal birth month effects on mortality seems to be shifted by half a year 10…”

ObjectivesTo evaluate the associations between birth month, birth season, and overall and cardiovascular disease mortality, and to examine the role of familial and socioeconomic factors in these associations.DesignProspective cohort study.SettingNurses’ Health Study, established in 1976, an ongoing prospective cohort study in the United States.ParticipantsFemale registered nurses who reported information on date of birth at study enrolment (n=116 911, 1976-2014, followed for 38 years).ExposureBirth month and astronomical birth season (based on solstices and equinoxes as boundaries of the season categories).Main outcome measuresAge and various multivariable adjusted hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals for the association between birth months (using November as the reference), astronomical birth season (using autumn as the reference), and overall and cardiovascular disease specific mortality were assessed using Cox proportional hazards models.ResultsAmong study participants, 43 248 overall deaths were documented during 4 136 364 person years of follow-up since enrolment, including 8360 cardiovascular disease related deaths. In fully adjusted multivariable analyses, no significant association was observed between birth month, birth season, and overall mortality. Compared with women born in November, increased cardiovascular disease mortality was observed among those born from March to July (hazard ratio for March, 1.09, 95% confidence interval 0.98 to 1.21; April, 1.12, 1.00 to 1.24; May, 1.08, 0.98 to 1.20; June, 1.07, 0.96 to 1.19; and July 1.08, 0.98 to 1.20). Those born in April had the highest cardiovascular disease mortality, and those born in December had the lowest (December, 0.95, 0.85 to 1.06). The relative difference between the lowest and highest risk month was 17.89%. Women born in spring (1.10, 1.04 to 1.17) and summer (1.09, 1.03 to 1.16) had a higher cardiovascular disease mortality than women born in the autumn. Adjustment for familial and socioeconomic factors did not change these results. The relative difference between the lowest and highest risk season was 10.00%.ConclusionParticipants born in the spring and summer (especially those born in March-July) had a slight but significant increase in cardiovascular disease specific mortality. However, no seasonal birth month effect was observed among women for overall mortality. Familial and socioeconomic factors did not appear to alter these associations. Further studies are required to confirm these findings and reveal mechanisms of these seasonal birth month effects in cardiovascular disease mortality.

“…After the publication in the Annals of National Academy of Sciences in year 2000 a review article that human longevity is related to month of birth [11] we published four articles proving birth month of different cardiac patients [6]- [8] and patients with oncologic malignancies [9]. In addition some our studies related to Congenital Heart Disease [4] and Down Syndrome [5] in the field of Clinical Cosmobiology showed that many analyzed physical parameters, potentially playing a role in the pathogenesis of the mentioned diseases, are more significant connected at the month of conception (9 months before birth) than these at time of the birth.…”

“…[4] [5]. The aim of this study was to: 1) synthesize data related to birth month of patients with such "big killer" diagnoses like Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) [6] [7], Rapid and Sudden Cardiac Death (RCD, SCD) [8], and Oncologic Malignancies [9], including 71,965 deaths, and their presumed conception month for each group of pathology and summarized both for all groups of patients, studied in the mentioned studies; 2) compare with analogic data of the literature for a group of centenarians (100 -112 years old) in the USA and; 3) explore the existing differences [10].…”

In recent years some interrelationships between time of birth and longevity were published. Concomitant publications appeared demonstrating links between Space Weather and the timing of medical events; in part of both these studies it was shown that Space Weather indices are stronger connected with the time of conception as with the birth time. The aim of these study was to consider birth and conception month of patients suffering from a number of "big killer" pathologies, affecting human longevity and comparing with published data on centenarians-100 -112 years old persons in the USA. Patients and Methods: We included monthly births distribution of our four papers including patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)-n-3765, and admitted in another tertiary medical facility for AMI-n-22,047, and, also patients suffering Rapid-n-1239 and Sudden Cardiac Death-n-327 and, also, patients with oncologic malignancies-n-44587. At all in this group 71,965 patients were included. Their birth and conception months were compared with analogical data of 1574 people of 100 -112 years old using data of L.A. and N.S. Gavrilov for USA centenarians. Results: The birth months of the cardiovascular and oncology patients were maximal in January, March and April (above 10% at each of these months); their conception was maximal in April, June and July.
