Reply to comment by Ashleynewman7 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
That’s anecdotal tho

Very true! This is just my experience. I’m curious to see this study done with couples in the states.

True. But I am a nurse and most dementia patients i take care of are also married. A few widowed, but most are not lifelong singles
