News Report Two
A new study has cast doubt on historic research suggesting that the season or month of someone's birth is associated with an increased risk of certain mental health
conditions. The study looks at symptoms of anxiety and depression among more than 70,000 older adults in Europe. A number of past studies have found the link between season of birth and mental health diagnoses.
Researchers have suggested that such links could arise from various things. These include nutrient intake, sun exposure, climate, and disease exposure varying across the course of the year. However, evidence has been mixed, more recent studies have suggested that factors such as social class or economic background have more to do with these diagnoses than month of birth.
Overall, the new study found no significant relationship between participants9 month of birth and symptoms of depression or anxiety. There was some variability in some countries. In Poland, depressive symptoms fluctuated a little depending on birth month. In the Czech republic, the same was true of anxiety symptoms. But on the whole,there was no systematic pattern.
3. What have a number of past studies found about season of birth?
A) It plays a less important role in one's health than nutrient intake.
B) It impacts people's health to a lesser degree than sun exposure.
C) It is associated with people's mental health conditions.
D) It is linked with older adults9 symptoms of depression.
4. What did the new study find about the relationship between participants9 month of birth and symptoms of depression?
