‘People more likey to die on their birthdays’
People are statistically more likely to die on their birthday than any other day, scientists have claimed.
From a study of more than two million people, researchers say the “birthday blues” bring a rise in deaths from heart attacks, strokes, falls, suicides and even cancer.
The study is published in the journal Annals of Epidemiology, points out that past a certain age, blowing out the birthday candles can bring more dread than cheer.
But the passing of another year may be the least of our problems, according to scientists who found we are statistically more likely to die on our birthday than any other day.
On average, people over the age of 60 were 14 per cent more likely to die on their birthdays, the Daily Mail reported.

London: Have the perfect dress for the night out but no good heels to go with? Don’t worry.
A new technology that promises to revolutionise wardrobes in the future is in the works and will allow you to quickly and cheaply “print” your own perfect shoes at home.
According to trend forecaster Jane Monnington Boddy, a director for market analyst Stylesight, within the next decade or so you’ll be able to quickly and cheaply “print” your own perfect shoes at home.
“This will revolutionise wardrobes,” she said. “It really is the future of fashion.”
It may sound unbelievable, but crude versions of this new technology are already available for around £600 from certain online electronic shops, the Daily Mail reported.
