The new study revealed that getting married could reduce the risk of heart disease by up to 40 percent. Conversely single people are more likely to suffer a series of illnesses including suffering or dying from heart disease.
In addition, married people are also less likely to die from stroke. Even that possibility is only half that of unmarried people.
Doctors believe having significant others makes people more likely to get previously treated symptoms and take medication. Researchers from Keele University said the findings were so significant that the patient's marital status should be considered a risk factor, such as blood pressure or smoking.
Mamas Mamas, professor of cardiology at Keele University and a consultant cardiologist at Royal Stoke Hospital, said in medicine that the truth is in the medical status of marriage is not a major topic. However, one thing is certain that marriage is not a risk factor for disease.
"What this study shows is that medical personnel should be aware of the additional risk of a heart attack or a patient's first stroke, or have better long-term outcomes," he said as quoted from the dailymail website on Tuesday (19/6).
