Studies have shown that the most common birthday in the U.S. is Sept. 16, nine months after a rambunctious winter holiday season, Daily Mail reported.

A report in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine explained: "The period from Christmas to the New Year is associated with increased opportunities for socializing and a generally more hedonistic approach to life."

December marks a major contrast with August, described as the annual "trough" for conception rates. This results in far fewer births come April.

很多美国人生在9月16日

       多项研究发现,在美国,最常见的出生日期是冬日假期结束九个月后的9月16日。

       《皇家医学会杂志》上的研究报告解释说:“从圣诞节到新年的这段时间里,人们的社交活动增加,对待生活也更加以享乐为主。”

       据英国《每日邮报》报道,和12月形成巨大反差的是8月。八月份被认为是一年中怀孕率最低的时候,所以四月份出生的人就少得多。
