Myocardial infarction on various days of the week

  • Walter Massing (a1) and Matthias C. Angermeyer (a1)
Synopsis

The weekly distribution of deaths for myocardial infarction was studied, using mortality data for Lower Saxony for the years 1968–77. In accordance with hypotheses derived from Holmes & Rahe's stress model, an increase of deaths was found on Saturdays and Mondays only in men aged between 25 and 55 years.
