We found significantly increased birth weight, gestational age, and longevity in individuals born during the autumn and winter seasons of the year. These individuals also demonstrated statistically significantly lower prevalence rates for fetal growth restriction and premature birth. Furthermore, we found that increased temperature at birth was associated with adverse effects on fetal development and longevity. In conclusion, our results show strong effects of season of birth on fetal development and longevity mediated, at least in part, by environmental temperature at time of birth.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Full Text Link: <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/19194861\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/19194861\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8302 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.famelab.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Line.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1316\" height=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Flouris AD, Spiropoulos Y, Sakellariou GJ, Koutedakis Y.
