A new study involving over 7,000 Canadians, aged 60 and older, reveals intriguing patterns about marriage and aging. Conducted over approximately three years, this research shows that marital status influences how well individuals age, with notable differences between men and women.
Among men, those who were married or got married during the study were twice as likely to age optimally compared to their peers who never married. However, the opposite was true for women. Women who had never married were found to be twice as likely to age well compared to their counterparts who had experienced widowhood or divorce during the study period. Interestingly, there was no significant difference in aging between married and never-married women.
