Death relates to birthday week
SAN DIEGO: A study of California death certificates found women were slightly more likely to die of natural causes In the week after their birthdays than any other week of the year, reports AP.
The study found a coinciding dip In deaths in the weeks before birthdays, according to a report published Monday tn Psychosomatic Medicine, the Journal of the American Psychosomatic Society.
"Some dying patients are able to prolong life briefly until they have reached a positive symbolic occasion. " said one of the authors, sociology Professor David P Phillips of the University of California, San Diego.
In contrast, the study found men were more likely to die in the weeks before a birthday than during the rest of the year. That may be because men are more likely than women to dread birthdays, Phillips said.
Phillips focused on statistics involving women, and plans a more in-depth study of the effects of birthdays on men.
Phillips findings appears to add to growing evidence of a psychological aspect to death, said Albert Marston. Professor emeritus in psychology and psychiatry at the University of San Diego.
