Marriage may help men live longer, research has found. Lifelong bachelors are twice as likely to die from heart failure as men who get married, according to a study of 6,800 American adults. Men who had never married were 2.2 times more likely to die within five years of a diagnosis than those who had “tied the knot”, said The Times, while for women there was no link between marital status and their risk of death from heart failure. Experts believe this is because women are better at looking after themselves.
