The article provides information on the mean age of death (MAD) those professionally involved in literary work (22 028 men and women 4 651) assigned to one of three categories: novelists, poets and writers-poets. Women any of the investigated categories authentically lived longer than men (p<0,02). Analysis of dynamics of mean age of death (MAD), starting from the 15th century BC to the end of the 20th century, showed that this ratio gradually increased but uneven among fiction writers and novelists, poets of both sexes, however, remained unchanged at poets and poetesses have declined. Among men the very old (90+ years) were 5,38 % and 3,01 % writers-poets, whereas among women - 12,35 and 8,96 %, respectively. Centenarians have surpassed 1,62 % of women novelists and 0,61 % poets, then among men - 0,31 % and 0,49 % of writers, novelists and poets, respectively. The frequency of violent deaths (homicide, suicide, accidents) is also varied and was highest among poets, novelists, poets have minimum-novelists occupied an intermediate position for these indicators. Histogram of MAD had 2 peakes type, characteristic for heterogeneous populations, with a sample of «writers» heterogeneity was weakly expressed, however in a sample of «poets» was very noticeable. Suggests that MAD, longevity, as well as the frequency of violent deaths are related to processes associated with creativity.
本文提供了从事文学工作的人员（22028名男性和4651名女性）的平均死亡年龄（MAD）信息，这些人员被分为三类：小说家、诗人和诗人兼作家。在任何一个被调查类别中，女性的实际寿命都比男性长（p<0.02）。对公元前15世纪至20世纪末的平均死亡年龄（MAD）动态分析表明，这种比例在小说作家和小说家群体中逐渐上升但不均衡，然而，两性诗人的这一比例保持不变，而女诗人的比例有所下降。在男性中，年龄非常大（90岁以上）的诗人兼作家占5.38%，小说家占3.01%；而在女性中，分别为12.35%和8.96%。百岁老人在女性小说家中占1.62%，在女诗人中占0.61%；而在男性中，小说家、诗人分别占0.31%和0.49%。暴力死亡（杀人、自杀、事故）的发生率也各不相同，在诗人中最高，小说家最低——在这些指标上小说家处于中间位置。MAD的直方图呈双峰型，这是异质人群的特征，在“作家”样本中异质性表现较弱，但在“诗人”样本中非常明显。这表明平均死亡年龄、长寿以及暴力死亡频率与创作相关的过程有关。
