The loss of a loved one causes lethal inflammation

The suffering of losing a loved one can cause life - threatening inflammation.

Researchers at Rice University, Texas, interviewed 99 people who had lost a husband in the last two weeks and took blood samples. Those suffering for the loss of loved ones had significantly higher levels of body inflammation than those who had not experienced such pain. Compared with others, the bereaved people had 53.4 percent more inflammation in their bodies. Chief author of the study Chris Fagundes, an assistant professor of psychological science, said that this is the first study showing that some symptoms of grief can lead to increased risk of mortality.

Previous “Studies have shown that inflammation contributes to almost every disease in adulthood,” said Dr Fagundes. According to researchers, depression is linked to higher levels of inflammation, and those who lose their mate are in markedly higher danger from major depression, heart attack, heart attack, and premature mortality.

However, this is the first study to confirm that pain despite levels of symptoms of depressive symptoms can trigger inflammation, which can cause negative health results. This study takes a closer look at how grief can put widows in greater danger of earlier death than others. /Living
