科学对十月出生的婴儿有什么看法

Just like the signature color-changing leaves of fall, October babies also come with a host of uniquely autumn-specific traits. While science tells us that babies born in different seasons may have varying degrees of physical, mental, and health-related benefits, October babies appear to be bestowed with personality traits that set them up for success.

就像秋天特有的树叶会变色一样，十月出生的婴儿也有许多独特的秋天特征。科学告诉我们，在不同季节出生的婴儿可能在身体、心理和健康方面都有不同程度的特点，而十月出生的婴儿似乎具有使他们成功的性格特征。

According to a 2014 study published in the International Journal of Sports Medicine, children born in the month of October proved to be stronger than children born in spring, summer, or winter months in terms of athletic performance. For this reason, parents may find that their October-born babies excel in sports activities throughout their early and adolescent school years.

根据2014年发表在《国际运动医学杂志》上的一项研究，事实证明，10月份出生的孩子在运动表现上比春、夏、冬三个月出生的孩子更突出。因此，父母可能会发现他们10月份出生的婴儿在整个早期和青春期的体育活动中表现出色。

Why is this? Experts say that for children to be born in October, the individual would have to have become pregnant during the spring. Therefore, with the duration of their pregnancy taking place in the summer months, mothers have increased exposure to vitamin D over mothers whose pregnancies take place primarily during colder months (via The Cut). "With children born in the Northern Hemisphere, those born in autumn tend to have slightly bigger bone and muscle mass," Dr. Gavin Sandercock, lead author of the study, told The Cut.

为什么会这样?专家说，对于10月份出生的孩子来说，他们在春天怀孕。因此，由于孕期是在夏季，与主要在较冷月份怀孕的母亲相比，母亲接触维生素D的情况更多。该研究的主要作者加文·桑德科克博士告诉the Cut记者说：“对于出生在北半球的孩子来说，秋天出生的孩子往往骨骼和肌肉稍大一些。”。

Aside from physical ability, research indicates that October babies also seem to have a longer life expectancy from age 50 onward, compared to those with spring birthdays (via Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America). Not only are these individuals expected to live longer, but science indicates that October babies are likely to spend those extra years living a full and contented life. For example, according to Motherly, those with October birthdays are more likely to maintain a good state of mental health. They may even have a leg up when it comes to a career in politics, citing that throughout history, more U.S. presidents have had October birthdays than any other month of the year.

除了身体能力，研究表明，与春天出生的婴儿相比，十月出生的婴儿似乎从50岁开始寿命更长(通过美国国家科学院学报)。这些人不仅预期寿命更长，而且科学表明，十月出生的婴儿很可能会在这额外的几年里过着充实而满足的生活。例如，根据Motherly的说法，那些10月份生日的人更有可能保持良好的心理健康状态。在政治生涯中，他们甚至可能会有优势，因为纵观历史，每年10月生日的美国总统比其他任何月份都多。

Additionally, those born in October are thought to be loving and affectionate in nature, according to Motherly. Armed with charm and positivity, these individuals show a unique ability to connect with others. They also possess an innate ability for analytical thinking (via Parenting) — a great skill set for those considering a career in law!

此外，根据Motherly的说法，十月出生的人被认为是充满爱和深情的。拥有魅力和积极的心态，这些人展现出与他人沟通的独特能力。他们还拥有天生的分析思维能力——对于那些考虑从事法律职业的人来说，这是一项伟大的技能!

Lastly, the October-born may also be at a decreased risk for health conditions, such as heart disease and allergies, according to Romper. Whether it comes to physical health, mental health, or career success, autumn babies seem to be as distinct as each brightly-colored fall leaf.

最后，根据Romper的说法，10月份出生的婴儿患心脏病和过敏等健康疾病的风险也可能降低。无论是身体健康，心理健康，还是事业成功，秋天的婴儿似乎和每一片鲜艳的秋叶一样与众不同。
