According to a research, married people are less likely to develop dementia, compared to those who remain single. Overall, those who remained single for life are 42% more likely to develop dementia.
Research suggests that those who are single are more likely to develop dementia, whereas widows and widowers are also at heightened risk. For those whose spouse passed away, bereavement was likely to cause stress, and possibly damage the brain.
James Pickett, of Alzheimer's Society said, “The analysis hints that poorer physical health among those who remain single is partly responsible.”
