Wanna live longer? Well, then for one if you are single get married soon, for staying single is far more endangering to your life than smoking, if a new research is to be believed.
The research, which monitored the lifestyles of 10,000 adults in their 40s across Britain over 10 years reveals that men and women without a partner drink too much, skip meals, work too hard and lack the emotional stability enjoyed by those who get married. So much so that 600 of 10,000 people monitored over a decade died.
The study to be published in The Journal of Health Economics looked at the different mortality rates of men and women who were married, single, divorced and widowed to see if there were any differences in the risk of death over an eight-year period.
