The Staying Young Show 2.0 - Entertaining | Educational | Health & Wellness
How much “social capital” have you raised? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. We all need friends, the call at 3am type of friends that you can trust and count on. Research shows that people who have raised significant social capital will have less disease and live longer.

MUSIC FOR DOC SHOCK (JIM)
Concussion study out of Canada looking at the link between concussion and suicide. Researchers from the University of Toronto, the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES) and Sunnybrook Research Institute, all of Toronto, in Canada. Looked at 235,110 patients who had a concussion over a 20-year period. The patients were aged 41 years on average, evenly split between genders, and most lived in cities. The majority had no suicide attempt, hospitalization or past psychiatric disorder. In the 9.3 years following the concussion, 667 suicides occurred.
Weekday concussion incidents were associated with 519 suicides, or 29 per 100,000 people. This was triple the rate for the general population of Canada, and higher than that for military personnel. There were 148 suicides among weekend concussion patients. At 39 per 100,000, this was four times the population norm. Basically, a concussion triples or quadruples the risk of suicide.
