Many of those over the age of 50 actively date. Loss of a spouse or partner due to death or divorce or other life situation is no longer the beginning of many lonely years spent in mourning. Instead, dating for the over 50 crowd is big business.

Studies have shown that staying single can also put your health at risk. Researchers from the University of Chicago and Duke University have found that the longer a man spends in divorced or widower state:

• • The higher his likelihood of developing heart or lung disease or cancer

• • The greater his risk of high blood pressures, diabetes, and stroke

• • The more difficulties he will have with mobility, such as walking or climbing stairs

This particular study only involved men, but we’re willing to be that women run those same risks as well. It makes sense then to get back out in the social scene and date – for your health!
