(Newswire.net — October 14, 2022) — An obituary that appears appearing in The New York Times is generally an excellent indicator of above-average longevity, so long as the success does not come with fame.

Problem: “Her fame was greater than her accomplishments as an actress” is the note in her 1962 New York Times obituary that reads ” Marilyn Monroe Dead Pills Close.” The notion that celebrities are old-fashioned is an old-fashioned notion, but it’s probably more sensible to view Marilyn as an exception than the norm. A study from 2001 concluded that Academy Award winners live longer than those with less fame research concluded, which could be a part of their popularity. Examining the life and death of those who are famous for their work in different fields can aid in understanding the difference between fame and success as well as the health risks and benefits of both.

METHODOLOGY: Researchers in Sydney looked at the age and cause of death reported in 1,000 consecutive New York Times obituaries published from 2009 to 2011. “Success,” by their measure, was defined as having lived a life that merited an obit in the paper of record. Some of these people were considered to be both successful and famous, like those in performance and sports, and, to a lesser degree, writers and composers, while others — categorized as business/military/political or professional/academic/religious — were mostly just successful. 

Results: People who were both famous and successful died earlier. The age at the time of death of athletes and performers, 77.2 years, wasn’t necessarily young but it was a lot less than those who made it in other areas. People in the business world and their cohorts lived the longest. Their average age of death at 83 years old was more than their national average of 78.7 years.

Academics, philanthropists, as well as doctors, were more likely to die from “old age” the diagnosis which was more frequent for athletes, performers, and artists.

The gender breakdown during this period was 813 obits for men and 186 for women.

Implications: The biggest difference between athletes and performers according to the study’s viewpoint is that they were better acknowledged for the contributions they made to their respective fields. The authors cite studies showing how drug use and other risky behavior are associated with fame (including later in life, once fame had faded), and question whether that, along with performance-enhancing behavior, might have played a role in the reduced life spans seen here.

They also point out that deaths from lung cancer were more frequent in athletes and suggest that this is in correlation with the fact that stars are more likely to be chronic smokers. However, the rates were in line with the average for all Americans. In this instance it appears that fame doesn’t necessarily correlate with greater health risks however, those who are successful, but not well-known may be more prone to be healthier.

Celebrities are more likely to die earlier than others According to a recent study.

Australian researchers from Australia discovered that athletes and musicians who have a lot of fame during their lives have a shorter lifespan than those who are anonymous.

This is when compared with the average longevity in the US of 78.5 years for creative people, 81.7 for professionals, and an average of 83 for business leaders as well as politicians.

It’s not known what the reason however it could be related to the resulting stress or risk-taking.

“Fame and accomplishment in careers that require performance may earn you fame and recognition at the expense of a less long life span,” the researchers have written.

“In these professions, smoking, as well as other risky behavior could be the cause of positive effects on success, or premature death.
