Says Keith Roach, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Sharecare and co-creator of the RealAge Test, “Marriage itself is usually our most important social interaction.” Sure, other social relationships are significant, but being married is the most fundamental and important of all. “Someone who is happily married has the lowest risk of heart disease, cancer, even car accidents,” says Dr. Roach. “The difference is powerful and striking.” Happy marriages are especially important for men between the ages of 30 to 64. They are 30% less likely to have a heart attack than a man who is divorced, and their cancer risk drops dramatically. “It likely has to do with less stress, from the emotional support of a partner to sharing affection and intimacy,” says Dr. Roach.
