I remember reading all of the threads here on whether a woman should marry a younger man and most people were all for it citing compatibility over age. Apparently, marrying a younger man is not good for a woman’s health - women who marry men 7-9 years younger increase their mortality risk by 20%.
Here’s the article:
So ladies, before hooking up with your boy-toy - remember, it could kill you :hinna:

that kills them.
Re: Cougars (may) die young!
I can't decipher your smiley, elaborate :p
Atleast they die happy
They do say that heart disease is the leading killer amongst women. I guess their old (or not so old) ticker just couldn’t keep up :halo:

Much older husbands don’t help a woman, either, said Drefahl, who performed the analysis for the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Germany.
Although not many hit the mark, a woman’s best choice is to marry a man of exactly the same age: Even an older man shortens a woman’s life somewhat.

Anyways, in all seriousness, this is a demographical research done on only 1 population. It isn't even cross-cultural. It doesn't say anything about any previous marriages of either spouses, the health condition before and after marriage, earnings, social status etc etc etc. Meh, I'll take this research with a grain of salt.
oh really?

Jee jee Khumar zaroor
I am hungy for knowledge
I agree with you. I generally take most studies with a grain of salt. I find most stats can be presented in a manner that supports the researcher’s hypothesis and will then shortly after be disproven by another researcher.
I just wanted a change of pace from the “best/worst” mirror threads - they’re getting a littled tired and there’s no mirch masala in them

Re: Cougars (may) die young!
obviously.
Re: Cougars (may) die young!
Can the same be said for an older man marrying a younger woman? 
I conclude that people should marry people closer to their own age so that their life span doesn’t decrease 
More chances of them dying together.
We all go when our time comes.
hahahaha good one!
