Heart attacks are most likely to happen on Mondays since people are stressed for the work week, so why are unemployed retirees also more likely to have heart attacks on Mondays?

The right answer will be a hypothesis that explains why unemployed retirees suffer heart attacks at higher rates on Mondays. Either this answer will link unemployed retirees with stressed workers, or else give some other reason why Monday is a particularly likely day for heart attacks.

After a lifetime of starting work on Monday, retired people begin large projects on Monday. This is stressful for them, hence why they too are more likely to suffer heart attacks on Monday than other days of the week.

Do these part-time jobs start on Monday, too? This doesn’t tell us, so it can’t be right. We're also specifically concerned with unemployed retired people, not working retired people.

Mondays are conducive to heart attacks because of stress. Diet and health habits might affect overall heart attack risk, but we have no reason to think they're relevant to which day of the week the heart attacks happen on.

Regardless of the role of stress, we have no reason to think that unemployed retired people are more stressed on Mondays than other days. This doesn’t help us.

We're not concerned with the overall rate of heart attacks, just with what day of the week they're most likely to happen on. This doesn't help us to explain why unemployed retired people are more likely to have heart attacks on Mondays specifically.
