Study Links Birth Order to 150 Health Conditions Among U.S. Siblings

First-borns are more likely to experience neurodevelopmental issues, while second-borns may face higher rates of migraines and substance use disorders. The study emphasizes correlations rather than causation, suggesting that birth order is a modest risk marker for health outcomes.
