“Study: Married people go faster”
“it Is difficult to see if a person has a wedding ring or not, you can see if someone is married by to check on how quickly the person in question is, according to a new study, writes CNN.”
“According to a new study, published Wednesday in the scientific journal PLOS One, has married people better physical and mental health when they become older than unmarried people have. In particular, they go faster and have a stronger hand.”
“With the researcher, Natasha Wood University College London in the lead has the research team looked at the relationship between marital status and the ability to perform everyday activities in later life, writes CNN.”
“– There are many previous studies showing that married people are healthier and the mortality rate is lower among them, but there is not as much research that looked at the physical side, ” she says.”
“Therefore, the researchers focus on two indicators, gait speed and gripstyrkan. “
“– gait speed is an overall measure of health that includes many things like balance, agility and speed, while of grip strength reflect upper body strength, “says Natasha Wood”
“the Researchers analyzed data from two previous studies on older people and their physical ability. Married persons were divided into two categories, those who were married for the first time and those who remarried. And unmarried persons were divided into three categories: divorced, widow or widower, and those who have never been married. “
“After the analysis of both studies showed that both unmarried men and women was slower than their married counterparts. Men who were förstagångsgifta went faster than men who never married and widowed. However, they were not so much faster than omgifta men. Also förstagångsgifta women was faster than unmarried women. “
“A similar pattern was found when the researchers looked at gripstyrkan – but only for men. “
“Men who entered into his first marriage hit the other categories of grip strength, however, are not those who were omgifta which was stronger. It may have to do with the fact that there is a selection in a remarriage where only those who are physically healthy, married, mean Wood. However, the need for more research in this area. “
“The main explanation behind the results of the study is that married people are more affluent than the unmarried. Have good financial conditions, you eat more and can afford leisure activities. “
“– They have better mental and physical health, which is linked to better physical ability.”
“the Research results can show significant impact on older people’s health when there are fewer toxins. Alternatively, the marital impact on health to shrink.”
“– Because the fewer toxins so it may also be that the link between marriage and physical ability is not as strong for younger people when they get older, ” says Natasha Wood, according to CNN.”
