Why do women live longer than men?
Because they want to.
The two men that I know, who have it now, are still happily married and both are in the late 80s.
Both women died long ago. The men and their wives and children are dealing with this right now.
I haven't carried out any studies, I'm just posting about what I know.
Usually I don’t waste time reading articles.
Marriage Linked to Increased Risk of Dementia, New Study Finds

Who needs a New Study
I read the entire article; that’s one of the reasons I called this study GARBAGE!
Couldn't resist.
“new study led by researchers at Florida State University somewhat shockingly suggests that married people are more likely to develop dementia.
Would you believe me if I told you that staying single or ending your marriage could lower your odds of getting dementia?
A 2019 study from America found that unmarried people had “significantly higher odds of developing dementia over the study period than their married counterparts”.”
Don’t those sentences say just the opposite of each other !!!
“Yes they will, unless you are hermit and live in a cave.”
Dave must have had dementia since he was okay with keeping a dead whore in his cave.
“That’s because we’re driving each other CRAAAAAAZY!!!”
My wife and I are in our mid 80’s, and we are amazed at how often one person in a marriage tries to control their spouses.
A very intelligent man just died. He and his over controlling spouse had been married or 60+ years. We know of another couple with the same control issues in their soon to be over marriage.
Married people rely on someone else to do certain tasks while a single person has to do it all. I see that with my marriage. We certainly don’t do each task but divide them up. I definitely see married people getting Alzheimer’s more frequently. To be fair, the singles I do know are widowed so not sure how the study would rate their chances.
Do I have to Guess Who that was?
Does the study cover blood pressure?
Henny Youngman joke:
Why do married men die first?
They want to.
I haven’t read the entire thread, but I would suspect someone has mentioned that a married person is more likely to be diagnosed with dementia because they have someone close to them.
There is someone who sees them everyday and gets them to the doctor once they first notice the sign and symptoms of the disease. Therefore, there are more diagnoses earlier in life for married people.
The study might not have included that data. Without actually seeing the study it is impossible to rank it. But I suspect that it is bogus. Like most studies

No, you just can’t understand because of your dementia.
Of of the men, whom I know, who has dementia, has been happily married to the same woman for over 60 years and the other one, had been happily married to the same woman for 50.
Both men are in their late 80s. Both are Conseratives, as are their wives and adult children.
Heck, I don’t worry about my wife giving me dementia, I’m more concerned about the baseball bats.
