Relationship Between Birth Month and Dementia
2
  • Dementia is a syndrome caused by a slow
    progressive brain disease. Features are a variety
    of high-level functional disorders, involving
    memory, thinking, orientation, understanding,
    computing, judgment, language and learning
    ability. In the treatment of dementia, we have a
    lot of ways, such as disease model research, gene
    knockdown method, genome engineering using the
    crispr cas9 system, etc. Here a new study

3
  • A new study from the University of Rostock,
    Germany, found that the month of birth affects
    people with dementia. Although this effect may be
    small compared with other risk factors such as
    obesity, it may be a fact that affects the
    cognitive health of the next several decades in
    the first few months of life.

4
  • Gabriele Doblhammer and Thomas Fritze of the
    University of Rostock in Germany, had studied the
    data from the country's largest public health
    insurerthe public's local Health Insurance
    Company. The data involved nearly 150,000 people
    aged 65 years and older. The study found that
    those who were born between June and August have
    less rate than those who were born between
    December and February. The risk of developing
    dementia in other months is between the two.

5
  • However, this effect does not have any meaning on
    astrology. In contrast, Gerard van den Berg, an
    economist at the University of Bristol, studies
    the effects of the economic environment on
    health, said the birth month is a sign of
    environmental conditions such as weather,
    nutrition, etc.

6
  • For example, the baby born in the summer faced
    with a lack of experience in the respiratory
    tract infections the first summer. In the past,
    the baby born in spring and summer has just been
    in the late autumn harvest of fresh fruits and
    vegetables, most of the supply has been
    exhausted. The firewood burning or heating coal
    pollution may also cause certain influence.

7
  • Evidence from other studies suggests that these
    factors will affect the metabolism and the immune
    system, increasing the risk of diseases such as
    diabetes, obesity, hypertension, etc.. Doblhammer
    and Fritze's findings confirm that this is also
    true for dementia.
