A member of his family can extensively reduce the life of Al -Masha’i

It seems that people with long periods of great sadness after the death of a member of his family have a greater risk of death during the next decade than those who deal with their loss more easily.

Several studies have been linked to bad health results, such as Raise blood pressure. But most of them did not follow a snow until after a few years after losing, he says Andreas Mirker At Zurich University in Switzerland, which has not participated in the latest research.

now, Metty Keeljard Nielsen At the University of Aarhus in Denmark, her colleagues studied how sadness is associated with deaths after a decade.

The researchers used the national registry to obtain information about the people who were treated for a final case. Then they recruited more than 1700 lovers of these people, such as a parent or partner, to complete a series of investigative studies – that were conducted before their death and after six months and three years. On average, these loved ones – who are between 62 years old, asked if they were trying to avoid reminders that the person was sick or dead.

The team found that 670 of their loved ones were suffering from low levels of sadness after death, such as feeling confused a little about their role in life, while 107 of them were suffering from high levels of sadness, such as feeling an overwhelming majority in this way. The remaining participants suffered either the sadness that refused or delayed the sadness that started at the time after their loss.

After that, the researchers analyzed the medical records of loved ones 10 years after their loss. The death rate in the high group was 88 percent greater than the low rate.

“There is a saying that the bereavement breaks the hearts,” says Maercker. The results support the idea that extremely prolonged sadness puts pressure on the body, which leads to early death, he says. This may also lead to lifestyle changes, because bereaved people may be more likely Skip meals or be inactive.

Only 17 percent of their loved ones were diagnosed with medical condition at the beginning of the study, but Nielsen says this was more common among people in the high comfort set. She says that the pre -existing conditions rates may partially explain the cause of the members of this group to partially die during the follow -up period. MAERCKER says it is also possible that poor health may intensify sadness.

He says that providing additional support to people with extremely prolonged sadness – regardless of whether they have a situation themselves – can save lives.
