what impact on health?

marriage would be “excellent for health. We have seen in studies that, for example, women aged 45 to 64 who unfortunately are single have a mortality risk that is multiplied by 1.37“, reports the doctor and journalist France Televisions Damien Mascret, on the set of 19/20 Tuesday February 14. Among men, it is even worse, he adds. “For men aged 45 to 64, the increased risk of mortality, when one is single, is multiplied by 1.85. It is further multiplied by 1.17 between 65 and 89 years old, because we take care of each other when we’re in a relationship, and when we’re alone, we pay less attention”explains Damien Mascret.

A happy marriage is good for cardiovascular health

This is also true for the brain. “Here too, a Harvard study in the United States showed that the risk of dementia after the age of 52 is increased outside marriage. If you are widowed or widowed, your risk is multiplied by 1.5. If you are not never married, it is multiplied by 1.7 and the worst is to be separated, the risk is multiplied by 2.6”, reports the doctor. It’s true, he says. “that a happy marriage is better than being single, for cardiovascular health, but it is better to be alone than to be in an unhappy marriage”.
