British scientific from the University of Glasgow during the research have established, that loss of the loved person can become the reason of death.
Scientists have made such conclusion, having observed for 4 thousand married couples in the age from 45 till 64 years since 1970th. It was found out, that the widow or widower had run the increased risk to die during the first six months after the death of the near relation. And then within five years more he or she is threatened with serious heart problems.
Such pattern was kept even viewing the individual risk factors, such as, smoking or alcohol abuse. One of the scientists, who took part in the research, Stuart Wilson, noted that if the couple has lived together for a long time, the chances of a long “survival� for the other partner is rather low.
