ST. LOUIS -- The month you were born could play a big role in your health.
Researchers who compiled the birthdays and medical records of patients found that people born in May are the healthiest. People born in October might be at the highest risk for contracting diseases.
The study also revealed that those born in March are more likely to have heart issues.
Past studies have found children born in the fall are more likely to be asthmatic while kids born at the end of the year may have a higher risk of suffering from ADHD.
