Reply to 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

We are social animals (whether we like it or not, and on most days, not.)

I need to read the study. My observations is that It’s not being single, but the key variable should be being alone. Some seniors work hard to maintain quite active social lives. They seem healthier than many married folks.
