While marriage promotes optimal aging in men, the link is less clear in women, according to a study led by researchers at the University of Toronto.
The study involved more than 7,600 people aged 45 to 85. The results showed that married men were more likely to age healthily compared to single men.
This may be because in a marriage, partners encourage each other to maintain healthy lifestyles, such as not smoking and exercising.
For women, the situation is more complex. Married women did not show significant health benefits compared to unmarried women.
But never-married women were more likely to age healthily than widowed and divorced women.
