Research shows that husbands over 10 years old will live longer than usual

Previously, for a long time scientists thought that the issue of "choosing a partner for health" was important.

A study by Max Planck Academy of Science (Germany) in 2010 showed that the age gap between couples plays an extremely important role for the life of both people. Specifically, scientists agree that marriage improves people's longevity, but it only applies to certain cases, even if only for men.

Researcher Sven Drefahl - the author of this project - said he and his colleagues have relied on the medical records of more than 2 million couples in Denmark and they focus on the age of death of people dead, the age difference between husband and wife. The results have surprised many people, it even countered a notion that if young married men will live longer, it is logical to think that young spouses also live longer. .

For men, if they marry women who are younger than 7 to 11 years old, the mortality rate falls from 9% to 11% compared to others. The team thinks that men who marry younger will have an opportunity to increase their life expectancy by getting care of their wives when they get old . Meanwhile, women do not have such strange "rights" when the results show that married women who are younger than 7 to 9 years old are 20% more likely to die suddenly than those who married men by age. Married people with poor guys 15 and older, the risk rate increased to more than 30%.

Previously, for a long time scientists thought that the problem of "choosing a partner for health" was important: those who married their younger spouses were soon to die because they were younger. live longer. In addition, many people also assume that the younger a husband or wife will cause positive psychological and social effects on an older husband or wife, care for a better husband or wife and be a friend. my life is longer. According to Drefahl, this theory needs to be considered when "the causes of life expectancy of age difference between husband and wife are completely unclear and not so simple".

In more detail, Sven Drefahl stated that the social relationship between men and others in everyday life will be the first to decide this issue. Often, women will often have special friendships along with their marriage, from which they will receive more attention and sympathy from their friends than their husbands. In addition, women who marry young people often face more stressful issues than others when their marriage will be criticized as going against social habits. Of course, if they marry a person of the same age, this problem is considered resolved.

Meanwhile, men are not the ones who have so many close friendships so he will tend to care more about his wife. In particular, men who marry young women tend to be closer to their women because they often have thoughts about pampering and nurturing women. This leads to the wife's tendency to look after her husband in a caring way so that he can live longer.

Sven Drefahl also concludes that this study is not intended to criticize marriages that are different in age but the balance is inclined to women, it only shows the influence of social views on kissing. what consequences can cause cause?
