To evaluate the relationship between lunar phases and birthrate.
We examined 7842 spontaneous deliveries at Obstetric and Gynaecologic Clinic of University of Florence, between January 1988 and November 1992, covering 58 synodic lunar months. A lunar month was considered to be a period of 29.5 days and comprised four lunar phases: the full moon, the last quarter, the new moon and the first quarter. We compared the median number of births in each day of synodic month and in the periods of seven days centered on the first day of each moon phase. Statistical analysis was performed using the Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis by ranks.
Non significant differences were found in the incidence of spontaneous birth throughout the lunar cycle.
These results do not support the hypothesis of a relationship between moon-phase changes and the incidence of spontaneous deliveries.
评估月相与出生率之间的关系。
我们调查了1988年1月至1992年11月期间在佛罗伦萨大学妇产科诊所的7842例自然分娩，涵盖58个朔望月。一个农历月被认为是29.5天的时间段，包括四个月相：满月、下弦月、新月和上弦月。我们比较了朔望月中每一天以及以每个月相的第一天为中心的七天时间段内的出生中位数。使用Kruskal-Wallis秩和单向分析进行统计分析。
在整个农历周期中，自然分娩的发生率没有发现显著差异。
这些结果不支持月相变化与自然分娩发生率之间存在关系的假设。
