The “27 Club”
Background
What we have already known
• The notion of the “27 club” • Some musicians died at the age of 27 • The rock and roll lifestyle of celebrities
(though mainstream media often fall for the joke).[2]

• The reasons for these deaths occur at age 27 • The reliability of the “27 club” hypothesis • The association between the age and the risk of death in famous musicians

•Better treatments for heroin overdose •The change in the music scene from the hard rock 1970’s to the pop dominated(占主导地 位的)1980’s
Limitations
Our definition of fame was based on a number one album in the UK (clear, specific, and measurable) —the potential to create a biased sample; results may be different for other settings

How Did We Analyze The Data?
Cohort study using survival analysis with age as a time dependent exposure
Comparison
Primarily within musicians
Secondarily relative to the general UK population
Sampling Scheme and Statistical Methods
Data
• Date of birth • Date of number one album • Date of death
Analyse
• Lexis diagram • Survival analysis • R with the Epi and MVNA
What Were The Main Results Of Our Study?
1,046 musicians, 71 deaths (7%). mostly men (899, 86%) median age at first number one album was 26 (inter-quartile range 23 to 30 years) The total follow-up time was 21,750 musician years, 21 years per musician
death rate = number of deaths* 100/number of musicians at risk 0.57 = 3* 100/522

Is 27 really a dangerous age for famous musicians? Retrospective cohort study
Key Words:
•27 •Dangerous age •Famous musicians •Retrospective cohort study
Results
1 three deaths at ages 27 amongst 522 musicians ( 0.57 deaths per 100 musician years) 2 ages 25 (0.56) ages 32 (0.54) no peak in risk around age 27 3 the risk of death for musicians between 20s and 30s was two to three times higher than the general UK population
Limitations
We excluded(排除)114 musicians with no recorded date of birth—less famous, our estimated musicians’
death rate may be too high
The death rates were obtained from different sources —the comparison to the general UK population might be prone to(有…的倾向)information bias
Discussion
A cluster of deaths in age 20 to 40 in the 1970’s and early 1980’s No death in this age group in the late 1980’s
Discussion
This difference may be due to:
