Journal of Psychiatry: Long-term singleness is more likely to suffer from Alzheimer's disease

Previously, I saw a hot search on Weibo, titled "Why Young People Don't Want to Fall in Love".

Here's all the people scrambling to speak up for themselves:

"Why should I be in love? Is the meal not delicious or the phone not fun? Find friends to drink, talk about the world, comfortable and comfortable. ”

"It's too much trouble to fall in love, it's not free to get married, and you don't want to have children, so you want to be single."

"Isn't it nice to be single?" How good a person is, it takes money to fall in love, and you will no longer be in a hurry to fall in love and get married. ”

Nowadays, people, just by working hard, divide up a lot of time and life. And to engage in the object, but also to take care of the emotions of another person on this basis. look at! Each one of them is to see through the red dust, have no interest in finding a partner, and hang "no object P thing" and "no object is light" every day.

Many people will think that this kind of single life is not bad, but sometimes, they can't help but think, what will the life of two people look like?

The answer may be shocking: two people's lives can be healthier!

Being single is not so good

A recent study published in Heart found that single people had an overall increase in mortality compared to married people.

The researchers analyzed 34 studies, collected data from more than 2 million people, and conducted a meta-analysis by population type. The results found that single people had a 42 percent and 16 percent higher risk of cardiovascular disease or stroke, respectively, compared to married participants, and that people who had never married also had a 42 percent and 55 percent higher risk of dying from coronary heart disease and stroke.

The reason is that people with partners can rely on their partners' support to improve their health, such as coping better with stress and becoming aware of health problems earlier. Partners will supervise each other's health problems, remind each other to seek medical treatment as soon as possible after illness, and married people will have a more healthy life.

Relatively speaking, partners provide each other with emotional support and ways to solve health problems.

Single people, both men and women, are prone to give themselves negative emotions, allowing themselves to form bad living habits, such as choosing unhealthy food, staying up late, etc., so that the body and mind become unhealthy.

Although single is free,

However, it is susceptible to Alzheimer's disease

Another study published in the Journal of Psychiatry confirmed that being single increases the risk of dementia.

Researchers from the University of London in the United Kingdom further analyzed data from 800,000 people over the age of 65 and found that single and widowed people had an increased rate of Alzheimer's disease by 42% and 20%, respectively, compared with people with partners.

The researchers speculate that people without partners are more likely to feel lonely and depressed, which are both risk factors for Alzheimer's disease, and having a partner may have more opportunities to socialize than single people, which is also one of the important factors for promoting health and reducing the risk of dementia. In addition, both partners who have a partner will have a healthier lifestyle, including more exercise, healthy eating, smoking less, and drinking less alcohol, all of which are associated with a reduced risk of dementia.

In fact, being single is not as beautiful as we think. In general, people who have a partner are happier and healthier than singles.

People are actually socialized species, people need partners, and depend on this intimacy. As Roland Miller wrote in His book Intimate Relationships, the need for belonging is a product of the long-term evolution of human beings and has gradually become a natural tendency common to all people.

However, if you want to be short and not indiscriminate, it doesn't matter if you are single for the time being, but if you meet someone who is excited, even for health considerations, you can also try it.
