Study of 1.7M people born between 1900 and 2000 examines 1,688 diseases (w proper stat corrections) and finds 55 diseases significantly dependent on birth month.

Can't quite get my head around the logic but if each disease is its own null hypothesis, aren't Type 1 errors inevitable (given so many diseases)? Or is that dealt with in the proper stat corrections bit?
