Another benefit of getting married revealed

Tying the knot helps keep the brain healthy with aging and reduces the risk of mental illnesses such as dementia, according to a new medical study.

 

This was revealed in a medical study conducted in Norway.

 

Research from the Norwegian Institute of Public Health found that those who lived with a long-term spouse had a lower risk of dementia than those who were divorced and single for a lifetime.

 

Taking into account other factors that influence dementia risk, such as educational qualifications and lifestyle habits, protects the spouse's long-term as well as mental health from diseases.

 

The study found that divorced and single people were 50 percent and 73 percent more likely to be diagnosed with dementia, respectively.


This is not the first study to suggest that being married reduces the risk of dementia.

 

According to the researchers, several research reports have explored a reduction in the risk of dementia in married people, and our results also strengthen this evidence.


The study involved 8,700 people and assessed their marital status for 24 years.

 

During this period, 12% of people were diagnosed with dementia, while another 35% experienced minor mental problems such as memory impairment.

 

Researchers found that there is no strong link between being married and the risk of minor mental problems, but this relationship is clear in terms of reducing the risk of dementia.
