Marriage is a tonic to prevent cardiovascular disease and stroke

According to a study published in the June 19 issue of Cardiology, even with a marriage without a rose, it is possible to live to age with your partner to help prevent cardiovascular disease and stroke. .

Scientists have conducted 34 studies over the past two decades by collecting data from more than 2 million people aged 42-77 in Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia.

The results show that marital relationships significantly reduce the risk of both types. Compared to those with married life, the widowed, divorced or unmarried cases have a 42% higher incidence of cardiovascular disease and a high incidence of more than 16%.

Marital relationships significantly reduce the risk of both cardiovascular disease and stroke.

According to the study results, non-married cases have a higher risk of death when the incidence of coronary artery disease is 42% higher and 55% with stroke.

The study also found that the results were similar between men and women, except for stroke symptoms, because men were more susceptible than women.

Team leader, Chun Wai Wong, a researcher in the Heart Department of the Stoke Royal Hospital in the UK, stressed the findings suggest that marital status should be taken into account in assessing cardiovascular risk. .

A number of factors can create risks that lead to 4 out of 5 cardiovascular events, including advanced age, men, hypertension, high cholesterol, smoking and.

The study left open the question of whether marriage can act as health "protection shields" . A previous study has shown that cohabitation also significantly reduces the incidence of dementia.
