Statistics and Prediction: a Preliminary Study on the Birth Month and Diseases of The Elderly over 80 Years Old in China

Abstract

The month of birth is related to the risk difference of diseases, and this research has been widely verified internationally. However, in China, there is still no study covering the whole country's birth date-multiple diseases at present. This study initiated a nationwide study on the relationship between the birth date of the elderly and their susceptibility to diseases. SPSS 26.0 software is used to analyze the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) by descriptive statistics, chi-square test and multiple regression model. The experimental data covered 23 provinces and 11 common diseases, and this article found that 5 of them were related to birth date. It should be pointed out that this is only a preliminary conclusion, and further conclusions and data will be given in the follow-up study. Although the internal complex relationship has not been deeply discussed in this paper, the research results provide some basis for tracing the source of diseases, and help the elderly who have reached or are about to reach the age of 80 to prevent and understand their prone diseases.
