The Sun reports that several scientific surveys have concluded that being born in the last month of the year means you’re more likely to live beyond the age of 100.

The study carried out in the Journal Of Ageing Research, wrote: “This study suggests that the December-born have a significantly higher risk of surviving up to age 105+ compared to the June-born.”

Another study of 1,749,400 people from the United States suggests December babies have a lower risk of cardiovascular disease.

According to the study, the findings are down to “seasonal variations”.

The study also concluded that those who are born in December admit to having less frequent mood swings and bouts of irritability than those born in summer months.

Those born in the winter were significantly less prone to irritable temperament than those born at other times of the year.

It said: “Those born in the winter were significantly less prone to irritable temperament than those born at other times of the year.”
