Why You’re More Likely To Die In Winter

The video discusses how death rates vary with seasons, highlighting that winter sees a rise in deaths due to flu, pneumonia, heart attacks, and strokes. In contrast, summer has fewer deaths, though car accidents, drownings, and heat strokes increase. Globally, the seasonal death pattern is consistent due to opposite seasons in hemispheres.

What is the main reason for the increase in death rates during winter?

• Higher rates of flu and pneumonia

• Increased sun exposure

• More car accidents

• Increased outdoor activities

How does cold weather contribute to heart attacks and strokes?

• By making blood vessels constrict

• By reducing blood pressure

• By causing blood vessels to expand

• By increasing physical activity

What happens to death rates in the summer compared to winter?

• They decrease due to fewer cold-related deaths

• They increase due to more flu cases

• They remain the same

• They increase due to more heart attacks

Which of the following is a reason for increased deaths in summer?

• More drownings and heat strokes

• More people staying indoors

• Higher rates of flu

• Increased snowfall

Why do death rates not relax globally during non-winter times?

• Because of increased global travel

• Because of constant disease outbreaks

• Because of global warming

• Because hemispheres experience opposite seasons
