Abstract

It is believed abstraction that the Planets and stars influence human health and psychology is a popular notionin astrological science in India. However, debates are still ongoing about the exact effects and their extentand quality. This study aims to deduce the correlation between unnatural deaths in different age groups andthe lunar cycle in 2819 cases. The cases were selected from the dead bodies brought into the mortuary of thedepartment for medico-legal postmortem examination from the various police stations of Varanasi betweenthe duration of 1st January 2013 to 17th July 2014. The compiled data were studied and analyzed statisticallyby employing the ‘one-way parametric ANOVA.’ It was observed that out of 2819 cases the most affectedage group was between 21-40 years (52.4%) followed by the age group 41-60 years (23.1%) and 13-20 years(13.7%). The insignificant rise in unnatural death among different phases of the lunar cycle of different agegroups indicates minimal correlation and association with the lunar cycle. A detailed study may be done inthe future considering one parameter at a time.
