Housecall for Health: Heart Health & Marriage

Popping the question to that special someone who has your heart might help keep your heart beating a while longer.

FOX’s Colleen Cappon reports in today’s “Housecall for Health”:

New research says being married is good for heart health.  Scientists in Finland found unmarried men and women have as much as a 66% higher risk of dying from a heart attack, regardless of age.

The say the reason may be overall better health habits of married couples, like keeping up with preventative medications like aspirin because of reminders from their spouse.  The study was published in the European Journal of Preventative Cardiology.
