Nicholas Christakis Quotes
You can save my life by taking better care of my spouse as she dies. People care about the burden of their death on their loved ones. When I'm sick I want to know the impact of my health on the health of my loved ones.
- Nicholas Christakis
When a spouse is hospitalized, the partner's risk of death increases significantly and remains elevated for up to two years. Stress and lack of social support may also adversely affect immunologic measures, so spousal hospitalization may have physiological effects on partners.
- Dr. Nicholas Christakis
