Children born in the summer growing up will be high and healthier

The babies born in the summer most likely to have more severe since birth, grew up going higher, generally have better health. -Here are the results of a new study from the University of Cambridge, uk.

Experts from the Epidemiology Division-Medical Research Council (MRC) conclusion: this difference may be due to my mother being exposed to more sunlight when pregnant. However, it still needs more testing.

The study had more than half a million people participate, learn the growth-development of men as well as women, and published on page Heliyon.

Dr. John Perry, head of research and the author is senior investigation scientist for the or: "the moment you were conceived and born occur almost as ' random ', not affected by socialclass, health or age of the parents. So, the search pattern of birth month is methods or to determine the influence of the environment before birth. "

Previous studies have noted the impact of the season was born to health and weight loss, this has led Dr. Perry and associates conducted the review time of puberty-an important link between the early life health and later-a way more carefully.

Results the study reveals: Babies born on the March 6, 7, 8 the heavier at birth and higher when mature.

The study also found: girls puberty later than summer, which is late puberty signs that better health in the future.

"This is the first recorded time of puberty is related strongly to the season of birth"-Dr. Perry said. "We were surprised, and pleased, to see the model between birth weight and duration of puberty so alike."

"Research results shows, certain influential students to the process of development and health, however need to dig deep in order to further understand the mechanism behind this phenomenon".

The baby born on December, 1, 2-the coldest month of the year-usually lighter when born, the dwarf than when mature and step into puberty sooner.

The researchers concluded, the environment in the womb lead to differences in early life, including the period before birth and development throughout childhood and adulthood.

They said that the level of exposure to the Sun (do produce vitamin D) in the second three months of pregnancy could explain this effect.

"We don't know the mechanism that would cause the birth season model about weight, height at birth and time of puberty"-Dr. Perry said.

"We need to understand the mechanism of this prior research results can yield insights about improving the health ... According to us, the exposure to vitamin D is very important. Hope the results of research will encourage more research on the long-term impact of vitamin D during the first years of his life to the time of puberty andhealth. "-he added.=
