Broken Heart leads to death
|
Scientists say that the death of love - is not a literary exaggeration.
The authors of the article, published in the journal The Lancet, say that after unsuccessful novel risk of death increased fivefold.
Researcher Margaret Stroebe the University of Utrecht said that the psychological stress caused by the loss of a loved one, has a huge impact on health.
If the risk of death for widowers is probably linked to alcohol, the reasons for widows deteriorating health is not as clear. In their case, loneliness and stress caused by the loss can be critical.
The results of a study that found that men's chances of dying after the death of a partner increased by 21% among women - 17%.
The risk is particularly great in the first few weeks after losing a loved one, and decreases with time.
Another study showed that after the death of a child dramatically increases the risk of suicide among parents, especially during the first 30 - days.
But Dr. Stroebe stresses that the majority of people still coping with their grief without professional assistance.
