….associated risk of death.

"Marriage may protect against the development of heart disease/stroke as well as influencing who is more likely to die of it, suggests a pooled analysis of the available data, published online in the journal Heart.

The findings prompt the researchers to suggest that marital status should be included as a risk factor for heart disease/stroke and likely survival in its own right.

Most (80%) cardiovascular disease can be attributed to well known risk factors: age; sex; high blood pressure; high cholesterol; smoking; and diabetes. But it's not clear what influences the remaining 20 per cent…."

LOL. So the man dies relatively healthy, a few years before the wife goes? Hmm.

Suffice to say that sometimes, with the stress involved, it doesn't feel like it should be that way.

It would have been interesting to see data on same sex marriage. Not to mention multiple, sequential marriages and polygamous arrangements.

Old news.

Grelber, I'm not sure there's enough history to make that research useful. The various non-traditional match-ups are a fairly recent development in western culture.

They left out 50%+ poorer (don't forget the legal fees, on top of the half the wife gets), if the marriage fails, and you get divorced.

Wonder how many years that takes off a man's life?

Does polygamy improve your odds? ;-)

Jogging adds 5 years to your life, but you spend those 5 years jogging ??

The tittle would be: "Good Marriage may protect against heart disease/stroke…." (smile)
