Reply to comment by AduroMelior 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

>You know the least helpful, most anti-social, least interested in long term commitments, and least healthy people in the world? A lot of them aren't married and don't have children! People like this also develop dementia!

What's your source for this?

I think this study just shows that lonely & unhappy people are more likely to develop dementia. If a person is content to be alone then I believe this correlation would disappear.
