SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, AND MEDICAL EXPLANATIONS OF 'PSYCHOGENIC' DEATH RATE DIFFERENCES: A CROSS-NATIONAL ANALYSIS.

Abstract

Social, economic, and medical variables correlated with 'psychogenic' death rates across about 30 countries, while McClelland psychological needs did not. Status integration correlated positively with homicide, negatively with suicide and ulcers deaths. Low life expectancy, wealth, economic growth, wine consumption, and zinc (cadmium) consumption correlated with deaths from homicide, suicide, ulcers, cirrhosis, and hypertension, respectively.
