Frequent sick leave due to mental disorder doubles the risk of early death

People who are dying often ill due to mental illness, two times greater risk of cancer than the rest of the staff, according to British scientists. Scientists conducted a study that examined the sick employees in 6500. Those employees, sick leave, which is more than three years for the entire period of work, the risk of early death increased by 66%. The study was carried out by 1985 to 2004. Unexpected discovery can contribute risk, scientists say. The study was published in the British Medical Journal. The highest risk of early death was to those employees who reported absent from work due to cardiovascular diseases. The risk of early death in people more than four times higher than other workers who rarely went on sick leave, the researchers reported. Experts believe that people get with common mental health problems rarely go to the doctor for professional help. Perhaps this is the reason that cancer can be detected at an advanced stage. They pressed less concerned about their health, researchers say. Data from this study will help to define a group of workers at risk. It is these patients the timely medical care, experts hope.
