Milestones

Milestones data for the month of November 2007 are published in this issue.

The age of Zoroastrian brides (as listed in this issue) ranged between 23 and 34 years, the arithmetic mean (the total number of individual ages divided by the total number of brides) being 26 years. The corresponding figures for the grooms were 26 and 37 years, averaging at 28 years.

The month of November saw 11 births versus 79 deaths. Heart disease ruled as the major killer claiming 25 victims — 17 of whom were octogenarians and nonagenarians. Pneumonia/lung disease followed taking a toll of 11 lives. Ten Zoroastrians fell prey to brain disease. The other killers were: cancer (seven), septicemia, old age/general debility and hypertension (four each) and liver disease (two). There were 11 isolated cases registered for November. They were: urinary tract infection, vertigo, Alzheimer’s disease, malnutrition, high cholesterol, hernia, Parkinson’s disease, gastro-intestinal hemorrhage, diabetes, hypothyroidism (a group of symptoms caused by the deficiency of thyroid secretion) and arthritis. In the case of one death, the coroner’s report was still awaited. A 102-year-old lady breathed her last. Forty-three was the youngest age at death. The Zoroastrian life expectancy at birth for November, in Bombay, was 78 years.

The data on births, marriages and deaths has been compiled from information supplied by various newsletters and anjumans 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 break-up 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.
