Risk of Death High in Festive Season

New study warns that people are more likely to die during this period compared to any other in a year.

Christmas and New Year has been a week-long period of festivities but a new study warns that people are more likely to die during this period compared to any other in a year.

Researchers at the Centers for Disease Control confirmed that this holds true for almost 94 percent of all deaths due to natural causes and also for deaths caused by five of the most common diseases, including cancers, heart disease, circulatory problems, digestive diseases and respiratory diseases.

Tips to Prevent Heart Attacks
Heart Attack occurs when the flow of oxygenated blood to heart muscles is hindered or stopped due to built-up of plaques in coronary arteries. Heart Attack is the No.1 killer among Indians.

The researchers said that it was true for all age groups, except children, adding that while they were unable to identify the exact cause for such a spike in deaths, one reason could be because people often tend to delay receiving care for their problems as they wanted to spend time with their families during the festivities.
