Science says this is the deadliest day of the week

Sunday you have to be careful because the new work week starts so you have to get enough rest, etc., etc. But beware: Saturday is also the week's day, most likely to die. But why Saturday? Because this is confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) from 1999 to 2014.

According to them certain forms of unnatural death especially death by traffic accidents and drug overdoses peak on Saturdays. Why? Because people are involved in the most dangerous behavior on this day, especially the behavior associated with alcohol abuse, such as drunk driving.

1,640 people die every Saturday of these types of deaths, and this is only in the United States. It is also important to consider that “deaths from road accidents” include both drunk drivers and victims hit by drunk drivers.

Seeing the week as a whole, dangerous behavior related deaths increase at the weekend and fall in the middle of the week. In fact, gun deaths peak on Sunday, not on Saturday (the second Saturday). Meanwhile, the number of heart attacks remains stable during the week, except for Monday when it peaks.

A 2005 analysis by the <x0-European Journal of Epidemiology” reached a similar conclusion. According to the World Health Organization, the 10 leading causes of death in 2019 represented 55 percent of all deaths on a global scale.

So about 9 million people worldwide died of heart disease that year, while 200,000 died from car accidents. That means that no matter what the circumstances, on Saturday you are even more likely to suffer a heart attack than overdo or get hit by a car. In general, the more populated countries have more deaths.
