Correlation between heart attacks and magnetic activity

SINCE the pioneering work of Düll and Düll 1 , many papers have been published on the possible correlation between geomagnetic activity and medical phenomena. Most of them conclude that there is such a correlation, although this may reflect the tendency to publish positive results and discard negati...

description SINCE the pioneering work of Düll and Düll 1 , many papers have been published on the possible correlation between geomagnetic activity and medical phenomena. Most of them conclude that there is such a correlation, although this may reflect the tendency to publish positive results and discard negative ones, and there is widespread scepticism concerning the reality of the correlation. The main objections concern the validity of the statistical tests, failure to remove trend and inadequate allowance for seasonal variations. Here we present data for which the correlation is particularly high, and can be demonstrated convincingly by standard statistical tests.
