Sterben am 13.Tag des Monats in westlichen Kulturkreisen mehr Menschen an einem Herzinfarkt als an anderen Tagen des Monats?
Die Zahl 4 gilt in vielen asiatischen Kulturkreisen als eine Unglückszahl. In der Baskerville-Studie der Universität San Diego wurde eine signifikant höhere Anzahl an Herztoden unter Amerikanern mit chinesischer oder japanischer Abstammung am 4.Tag eines Monats festgestellt.
Dies wird damit erklärt, dass Asiaten an diesem Tag unter großem Streß stehen und dieser Streß als Ursache für die Häufung angenommen wird.
Gibt es so einen Effekt auch bei uns, wo analog dazu die 13 als Unglückszahl gilt?
The study actually existed and it showed some effects in this direction.

A repetition study is not known to me.
And I don’t think there’s another study of this kind regarding number 13.
The effort for this is simply too great, and ultimately the effects determined are not of such importance that this results in the necessity of (preventive) measures.
Of course not, superstition is bullshit.
I did a little research, and I came to the conclusion that there are three reasons why Friday 13 is such a bad day. there are essentially three reasons:
By the way, the Technical Health Insurance Fund has examined accident numbers from its insurers and found that there are even fewer accidents on average than on the other Fridays. So it is mainly a feeling that Friday is the 13th an absolute bad day. I had a friend in the neighboring Sauerland 20 years ago. When I drove home from him at that time, I had the spirit flash, not highway, but road. I still had the sign of the highway in the back mirror, and the first reports came.
If I had taken the highway as usual, I would have gotten into this traffic jam and would have stuck in the full lock for several hours. At that time this was not common with the departure from the highway. Why I made this decision on that day, which I made very rare, I do not know yet.
But to the Asians. I don’t think there’s a real accumulation of heart attacks on the 13th. There will be some or other Germans who can get rid of the mere number, but they will be as accustomed as the Asians, as we are not. If I think that barely an Asian imports a car to Sweden, or buys it there, from fear to get a 4 in the license plate, or that Brabus has numbered the special edition “DragonCar” based on the E class, there were 12 pieces from 1 to 13, i.e. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6…. because no one would have bought the number 4, I can actually imagine that there are also some stress in this date too.

Well, you just hanged in there. 😊
