The newspaper said that researchers found that people who have a partner in middle age have half the risk of developing dementia compared to those who live alone. However, getting divorced or becoming widowed in middle age triples the risk of dementia.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.nhs.uk/news/2009/07July/Pages/Maritalstatusanddementiarisk.aspx"><P>It has often been suggested that marital status has an impact on health and quality of life. This study assessed the relationship between marital status in 2,000 middle-aged people (average age 50) and their cognitive impairment about 21 years later. It found that the risk of any cognitive impairment almost doubled if a person was alone in middle age compared to having a partner. Being without a partner in both middle age and later life further increased risk.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/EBE76130-43FC-485F-B591-12D7701C31AC/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
