Recent scientific study results have shown that "one of the keys to good health and longevity in men is having a spouse and a happy marriage." General medicine specialist Dr. Oksana Drabkina notes that according to this study, "there are many factors that affect an individual's average life expectancy. Here, we are also talking about social conditions, as the study results revealed that older, unmarried men have a higher risk of death." She states, "Our epidemiological studies have shown that social factors are linked to increased mortality rates. For men over 55 years old, the most significant risk factor associated with death is the absence of a wife." Therefore, it is important for a man to take care of himself at an early age and he should remember just five simple rules that can help him live longer and maintain his health. She continued, "Medical prevention's contribution to saving lives involves identifying known risk factors - not smoking, not consuming alcohol, not adding too much salt, staying active, and consuming at least 500 grams of vegetables and fruits daily." She adds, "Neglecting health leads to a decline in quality of life." She concludes, "Our health is in each one of our hands, use this resource. Public health and medical prevention are what can make our lives not only long but also of high quality."
