The annual numbers of human births were analyzed with regard to an 11-year cycle. The annual values were obtained from seven different regions: Australia, Germany, England and Wales, New Zealand, Japan, Switzerland, and the USA. Fifty-five annual values were obtained from each region for the years 1930 to 1984, comprising approximately five sunspot cycles. For each region the annual values were formed into 5 by 11 matrices; the eleven column means obtained were standardized, and plotted. A periodic regression technique, utilizing the fitting functions of the Fourier series, was used to evaluate the temporal order in the column means. Eleven-year rhythms were found and compared with solar and geophysical variables. Correlations were found with sunspots and solar flares, with terrestrial measures of magnetic disturbances (the magnetic indices derived from the K-index), and with temperature. The correlation of conceptions with the 11-year solar cycle may be a potential guide in the selection of further variables for the control and regulation of the rhythms in human conceptions.
对人类年出生数进行了为期11年周期的分析。年度数据来自七个不同地区：澳大利亚、德国、英格兰和威尔士、新西兰、日本、瑞士和美国。1930年至1984年期间，从每个地区获取了55个年度数据，大约涵盖五个太阳黑子周期。对于每个地区，年度数据被整理成5×11的矩阵；对得到的11个列均值进行标准化处理并绘图。采用一种利用傅里叶级数拟合函数的周期回归技术来评估列均值中的时间顺序。发现了11年的节律，并与太阳和地球物理变量进行了比较。发现与太阳黑子、太阳耀斑、地磁干扰的地面测量值（从K指数导出的磁指数）以及温度存在相关性。受孕与11年太阳周期的相关性可能为选择用于控制和调节人类受孕节律的其他变量提供潜在指导。
