Reply to comment by DNA2020 in Research finds people who are married have a lower risk of developing dementia after the age of 70 than those who are unmarried or divorced. Previous studies suggest that being married later in life protects against dementia, and that being single in old age increases the risk of dementia by Wagamaga

Seems like a potential defamation and pathologization of a whole group of people though.

Deciding to get and stay married does not necessarily mean one is more healthy..

Likewise, getting divorced does not mean someone has an unhealthy brain..
