Abstract
Since US death records contain more then 15 million decedents, it is possible to verify the month-of-birth pattern for the same causes of death that were analysed in the second chapter on the basis of the Austrian data. In general, the month-of-birth patterns for Austria are confirmed. However, those causes of death that were of borderline significance or insignificant in the Austrian study are now significant in the US data set (e.g. lung cancer, diabetes mellitus).
