Girls born in the summer have fewer children as adults than women born at other times of the year, according to researchers. A study of more than 3,000 Austrian women suggests a woman’s birthday influences her reproductive performance.

A range of factors such as climate, light, and nutrition could explain why women born in June, July and August are apparently less fertile than those with other birthdays. Dr Susanne Huber of the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna said more research needed to be done.
