Jacob Mei	Posted - 2008.12.10 05:46:00 - [1] A bit curious with what the results of this will be: What hand do you prefer to use, left, right or would you say you use both to various degrees (Ambidexterity). Further more, what sort of job do you have? Supposively, left handed individuals are more inclined to be artistic. I myself am left handed, preferring to use my left hand for writing, drawing and handling utensils and use my right hand for everything else (mouse use, etc). I am studying to be a conceptual artist. -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase: Players who post are like stars, there are bright ones and those who are dim.

defiler Mad Hermit Wayward Alliance	Posted - 2008.12.10 06:07:00 - [6] Edited by: defiler on 10/12/2008 06:16:36 I'm right-handed and work as a CNC operator, which involves handling heavy pieces of steel. In terms of raw strength I actually think my left hand wins, and if so no doubt thanks to my job. I do most of my heavy lifting with the left hand since I often need the precision of my right hand at the same time (like holding and turning something while measuring it with callipers or whatever)... Apart from that I guess I'm a typical right-handed person. My handwriting is bad no matter what ofc, but trying to write with my left takes the response I get from "sorry, I can't read that" to "are you having a seizure or something?".

Myrhial Arkenath Ghost Festival	Posted - 2008.12.10 11:07:00 - [22] Right handed, currently employed as webprogrammer. My sister, who is left handed, is studying photography and was even before her studies a natural talent when it comes to drawing. I've always been more for writing myself, creating things from various materials and playing with graphics editing, but with the latter I have to learn an artstyle before I can employ it.

KingsGambit Caldari Knights	Posted - 2008.12.10 12:31:00 - [27] Originally by: Gneeznow I read somewhere before (I think in focus magazine) that left handed people die 9 years earlier than right handed people... I've not heard your reason mentioned before but have heard the statistic, am curious to learn about that . I gathered that the reason was because RH people are the dominant in the world, thus most things are designed with righties in mind. There are thus more opportunities for lefties to 'have accidents' and when you extrapolate that onto a global scale, of those accidents xyz of them will be fatal. The 9 year figure is the average of the what I would guess is the difference between the ages righties and lefties both die of non-natural causes. If it is a bilogical reason that would be fascinating though I'm personally right handed, right legged and right eye dominant Though it does mean the left/logical part of my brain is the dominant half, I still have a creative spark...though I do work in a techie field -------------

I've not heard your reason mentioned before but have heard the statistic, am curious to learn about that. Your wish is my command Background: Left-handedness has been reported to be associated with reduced life expectancy, but the evidence is far from conclusive. Methods: We studied the association between innate handedness and total mortality, as well as cause-specific mortality, in a cohort of 12,178 middle-aged Dutch women who were followed for almost 13 years. The relation between handedness and mortality was analyzed using Cox regression in a case-cohort approach, in which a random sample of 1500 women was used to represent person-years under observation for the entire cohort. Results: During a median follow-up of 12.6 years, 252 women died. Hazard ratios comparing left-handed women with other women were 1.4 for all-cause mortality (95% confidence interval = 0.9û2.0), 1.7 for total cancer mortality (1.0û2.7), 2.0 for breast cancer mortality (0.8û4.6), 4.6 for colorectal cancer mortality (1.5û14.3), 1.3 mortality from diseases of the circulatory system (0.5û3.3), and 3.7 for cerebrovascular mortality (1.1û12.1), after adjusting for potential confounders (socioeconomic status, age, body mass index, and cigarette smoking status at study recruitment). Conclusions: Left-handedness is associated with higher mortality in women. Approximately 10% of the population are left-handed.1 There is an increasing body of evidence in support of a genetic basis for hand preference,1,2 but many observations suggest environmental influences in early life as well.3,4 One of the prevailing explanations is that left-handedness stems from an adverse prenatal environment, such as excessive exposure to testosterone, which influences brain lateralization.3 In recent decades, there is a growing interest in early life origins of adult chronic diseases. Furthermore, childhood growth may modify the effect of birth weight on later life diseases risk 5,6 and mortality.7 Hypotheses regarding fetal and infant origins of adult diseases 8 may include mechanisms leading to both left-handedness and increased morbidity and mortality in later life.9 Just as an adverse environment in utero may lead to greater mortality from certain adult chronic diseases,10 left-handedness may similarly be associated with reduced survival. Indeed, left-handers are reported to be underrepresented in the older age groups, although such findings are still much debated.11,12 Several studies 11,13û20 have attempted to explain the decreased number of left-handed people among elderly populations through a ômodificationö hypothesis, meaning cultural or social pressure against left-handedness, or an ôeliminationö hypothesis, meaning greater rates of mortality among the left-handed group.11 The modification hypothesis could not explain the reduced proportion of left-handedness in the elderly, as the estimated proportion of learned cases of left-handedness was much smaller than the estimated life-span shift toward dextrality.11 The elimination hypothesis has been studied to some extent, but the results are largely inconsistent.12 Two studies reported a relation between left-handedness and increased mortality,11,17 whereas 2 others found left-handedness to be associated with a survival benefit.18 However, many studies did not find any relation.13û16,19û21 Most of the studies above used cross-sectional designs, cohorts with short follow-up, or very selective groups of participants. In this work, we explored the relationship between handedness and cause-specific mortality in a large prospective, population-based, cohort study of middle-aged women cont.

Slade Trillgon Masuat'aa Matari Ushra'Khan	Posted - 2008.12.10 12:49:00 - [30] Edited by: Slade Trillgon on 10/12/2008 12:52:18 There have been conflicting results in studies on the relationship between handedness and mortality. A study by Halpern and Coren 17 found that left-handed people have a 9 yearsÆ shorter life expectancy than their right-handed counterparts. Earlier studies 11 also found a shorter life span in the left-handed group. These studies 11,17 were widely criticized regarding their validity. More recent studies found no difference in mortality between the left- and non-left-handed subjects 13,15,16,19,20 except for injury-related death.13,19 One found longer survival for the left-handed.18 All the aforementioned studies used current handedness, with various methods to measure handedness, in specific age and sex groups or in cohorts with shorter follow-up duration. The use of current handedness, especially in older generations could, as a result of societal pressure towards right-handedness, introduce misclassification of many innate left-handers as right-handers. Left-handedness has been related to a higher occurrence of breast cancer in one caseûcontrol study 30 and recently in our own cohort study 31 and a lower occurrence of one type of brain tumor.32 To our knowledge, no previous study has shown a relationship between left-handedness and mortality because of cancer. Left-handedness was not related to cardiovascular disease mortality in previous studies.14,15,21 We could not examine the effect of left-handedness on injury-related mortality, because of a very small number of such events in our population. However, our study supports the hypothesis that fewer left-handed people among the elderly might be caused by elimination as the result of higher susceptibility to certain diseases or higher case-fatality among the left-handed, rather than an incapability to adapt to a right-handed world, leading to elimination by accident-related death. If our observations about handedness and mortality are true, there could be several explanations. So far, the most plausible theory of handedness is the genetics theory from Annett et al 2 and McManus et al,1 which still allows for a contribution from nongenetic factors. Nongenetic factors may cause some fraction of individuals to divert from their genetically designated handedness. The nongenetic factors may include exposure to an adverse environment during fetal life or birth that leads to ôatypicalö laterality or pathologic handedness,3,4 disease susceptibility (inadequate immune system),3 and development of unhealthy lifestyles, such as smoking or alcoholism.33 However, we did not find clues that lifestyle differences between the handedness groups explained our findings. There is no evidence so far suggesting that genes involved in hand preference also act as an underlying factor for susceptibility for certain adult diseases. In our study, left-handedness was related to a variety of major diseases with largely different causal mechanisms. Because breast cancer constitutes a majority of cancer deaths in our cohort, it dominates the relationship between left-handedness and cancer mortality. It has been suggested that breast cancer may be initiated in utero by high exposure to steroid hormones 34 that may also cause left-handedness.3 For cardiovascular diseases, the link may be less straightforward. Nevertheless, as left-handedness is also more common in extremely low birth weight babies 35 and low birth weight is related to cardiovascular mortality,10 the link might lay in the common intrauterine environment.9 In summary, the results of our study among 12,178 women followed for 13 years support the view that left-handedness is associated with higher mortality, especially as the result of cancer and cerebrovascular disease.
