(DAILYMAIL) — Past a certain age, blowing out the birthday candles can bring more dread than cheer.
But the passing of another year may be the least of our problems, according to scientists who found we are statistically more likely to die on our birthday than any other day.
From a study of more than two million people, researchers say the ‘birthday blues’ bring a rise in deaths from heart attacks, strokes, falls, suicides and even cancer.
