Marriage linked to lower dementia risk: study
Being married, or ever having been married, comes with a much lower risk of developing dementia compared to being a lifelong bachelor or bachelorette, a new analysis of previous studies suggests.
Researchers found that people who never married were 42 percent more likely than those who were married at midlife to ever be diagnosed with dementia.
Being divorced, though, was not tied to higher dementia risk compared with the folks who stayed married.
