Study shows divorce can be deadly

Oops shouldn't have said that LOL

A new German study shows that people who divorce die years sooner than others, putting them in company with smokers, the homeless, and the poorly educated.

Divorced people on average have a life span nine years shorter than others, according to the study by Rostock Universitys centre for demographic research released this week.

We assume that being divorced strongly influences lifestyle, study contributor Gabriele Doblhammer told daily paper Der Tagesspiegel on Wednesday. Married people seem to have a more regulated lifestyle than singles, and the divorced embody a combination of factors that can lead to an earlier death.

The study, which reviewed the influence of social behaviors and conditions on the life expectancies of 50-year-old Germans, found that on average, men can expect to reach 77-years-old, and women 82.3-years-old.

I want to know where they found a large enough group that had NOT been divorced to make the study conclusive!
