Milestones
There were 17 births registered at the two hospitals in August. Of the 23 Zoroastrians who succumbed to heart disease, eight were in the 80+ category. The other killers were pneumonia/lung related diseases and diabetes (who took the lives of seven patients each), old age/general debility (to whom six fell prey to) and cancer (five). Hypertension took a toll of four victims, malnutrition, three and Parkin-son’s disease, septicemia, brain disease, asthma, malaria and bronchitis, two each. There were 12 varied isolated cases — gas-tro-intestinal infection, hypothyroidism (a group of symptoms caused by deficiency of thyroid secretion), anaphylactic (a hypersensitive state of the body to a foreign protein) reaction due to the sting of a wasp, Alzheimer’s disease, abdominal pain, osteoarthritis, epilepsy, hypoglycemia (decreased blood sugar), kidney failure, respiratory tract infection, blood pressure and thrombocytopenia (reduction in the number of platelets in the blood). The youngest to succumb was a 29-year-old male as versus a 96-year-old man. The Zoroastrian life expectancy at birth for August, in Bombay, was 75 years.
The data on births, marriages and deaths has been compiled from information supplied by various newsletters and anju-mans in India and abroad, courts and hospitals. This information is not always complete or consistent: we are unable to carry data from areas where the anjumans do not furnish the particulars; the birth figures for Bombay are supplied by two hospitals — births in suburban hospitals and private nursing homes are not included unless individuals send us information together with a copy of the birth certificate. There may be an inadvertent repetition of names in the marriage list when a civil marriage precedes a religious ceremony. In the breakup of deaths according to illnesses, especially of the elderly, death is often due to a combination of several diseases.
If readers have any births/marriages/deaths they would like published, some proof to ensure the veracity of the report would be required. We are sure our readers would appreciate this requirement and cooperate with us.
