Be careful blowing out the candles. Scientists have found we are more likely to die on our birthday than any other day.

Researchers who studied more than two million people over 40 years found a rise in deaths from heart attacks, strokes, falls and suicides.
研究人員在40年間對200萬余人進(jìn)行了調(diào)查研究，發(fā)現(xiàn)在生日當(dāng)天死于心臟病、中風(fēng)、摔倒和自殺的人更多。
William Shakespeare died on his birthday on April 23 1616. The actress Ingrid Bergman also died on her birthday, in August 1982.

生日當(dāng)天心臟病發(fā)的概率要高出18.6%，男女皆是如此。中風(fēng)的幾率則增加21.5%，女性占多數(shù)。
Dr Vladeta Ajdacic-Gross of the University of Zurich, said: "Birthdays end lethally more frequently than might be expected." He added that risk of birthday death rose as people got older.
蘇黎世大學(xué)的弗拉德塔•阿吉達(dá)西克-格羅斯博士說：“生日成忌日的情況比預(yù)想的更多。”他補(bǔ)充說，隨著人們年齡增大，生日死亡的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)也會增大。
Canadian data also showed that strokes were more likely on birthdays, especially among patients with high blood pressure.

"There are two camps - one is the camp that suggests you eat too much and your getting on a bit and that causes you to die.
“有兩種情況，一種是飲食過量、興奮過了頭，導(dǎo)致猝死。”
"The other is a placebo effect. You are knife-edged on death. And you kept yourself going until your birthday. You think 'that's it I've had enough I'm out of here'."
“另一種情況是安慰劑效應(yīng)。死亡已經(jīng)步步緊逼，但是你卻一直堅(jiān)持到生日那天。然后你想‘好了，我已經(jīng)從這個世界得到了足夠的東西’。”
Dr Lewis Halsey, of the University of Roehampton, said: "One interesting finding is that more suicides happen on birthdays, though only in men."

"Perhaps men are more likely to make a statement about their unhappiness when they think people will be taking more notice of them."
“也許男性認(rèn)為生日這天人們會更多地注意他們，這樣他們才更可能宣告自己的不幸。”
