Figure 2 Mortality from acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and stroke by month. Relative risks for high and low months are compared with the average of all months combined. For both AMI and stroke, deaths peak in January (AMI p < 0.001, stroke p < 0.001) and then progressively decrease to a low in September (AMI p < 0.001, stroke p < 0.001). The difference in mortality from January to September is 18.6% for AMI and 19.9% for stroke.
