Birth Month Could Determine Baby’s Future Career, study says

Being born in a certain month appears to indicate the statistical likelihood of what job a person will end up with, the study by the Office for National Statistics found featured on the Journal of Family Health Care website.

Researchers used previous census data to statistically analyze the relationship between birthdays and 19 different careers, The Telegraph reports.

Babies born in December are likely to be dentists, while those born in February are likely to be artists, the study suggests.

The study also reveals a possible link between a birth month and length of life, The Sun points out.

Spring babies are likely to be musically inclined or involved in politics, but they are also more susceptible to asthma, autism or schizophrenia, The Daily Mail reports.

Researchers suggest that the results may be a correlation between how much sunlight a mother gets during her first months of pregnancy and vitamin D production, the UK International Business Times reports.

An Oxford University neurologist suggests the results in relation to lifespan might not be that far out.

“It seems absurd the month in which you are born can affect life chances, but how long you live, how tall you are, how well you do at school, your body mass index as an adult, your morning-versus-evening preference and how likely you are to develop a range of diseases are all correlated to some extent with the time of year in which you emerge from the womb,” said Russel Foster earlier in the year, according to the Daily Mail.
