Department of Health & Ageing -Marriage Increases Life Expectancy
Just at the age when people start giving up on their marriage promises in droves, is the age at which there are marked health benefits for sticking to your marriage. If you are struggling in your marriage – do everything you can to fight for the relationship and not give up.
New data analysis released by Mrs Elliot showed married male and female Australians live longer than life-long single people.
Australian Bureau of Statistics data on age-specific death rates in Australia per thousand per age group clearly shows that married people have lower death rates than non-married people in almost all age groups, for both men and women. (The data compares the rate of death per 1,000 for single people versus married ones.)
Data analysed by the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing shows the difference between single and married starts in the 40s and grows sharply in the 60s.
The real spike appears in the 70-84 group with the death rate for single people almost double than married men and women.
