Being married appears to be a heart-healthy lifestyle, according to researchers.

Married men and women had lower rates of heart disease than those who were widowed, divorced or single, with fewer conditions like hardening of the arteries or blood clots, a study found. The research, which analyzed medical records of 3.5 million people nationwide evaluated for heart disease, was presented today in Washington at the American College of Cardiology meeting.

While reasons behind the marriage findings are unclear, it supports previous studies that show couples tend to be healthier and live longer than singles. The study reinforces the idea that heart health can be affected by social as well as physiological factors, said Vera Bittner, chairwoman of ACCs Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease Committee.

We cannot estimate cardiovascular risks purely based on metabolic abnormalities that we can measure but psychosocial variables could also be very important, said Bittner, a professor of medicine at the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Medicine, on a conference call with reporters.

The study is the largest of its kind, said Carlos Alviar, a cardiology fellow at New York Universitys Langone Medical Center and the studys lead author.

The findings dont mean people should rush out and tie the knot to reduce their heart disease risk, Bittner said. The studies only show an association. Still, doctors need to make sure they know patients marital status and whether they have support when ill, she said in an e-mail.

We are not advising people to get married as a way to prevent cardiovascular disease, said Alviar in an e-mail. When it comes to cardiovascular disease, marital status does indeed matter and it is important for clinicians to take this into account when they are examining patients.

Having a spouse may help promote a more robust lifestyle and ease access to medical care, researchers said.

In the study, 69 percent were married, 13 percent were widowed, 8.3 percent were single and 9 percent were divorced.

They found that those who were married had a 5 percent lower risk of vascular disease, which can include conditions like hardening of the arteries or blood clots, than singles and a 19 percent reduced chance of peripheral artery disease, in which plaque builds up in the bodys arteries. The greatest benefit was seen in married people who were ages 50 and younger.

Marriage Is a Prescription for a Healthy Heart, Study Suggests

About 60 percent of respondents in a recent survey are keen on inclusion of health education with a focus on healthy lifestyle in school curriculums. The survey was conducted by the Healthcare Development Holding Co. in collaboration with the Health Ministry and Tam Development Co. Ltd.. The public opinion was based on the need for children to have awareness of healthy lifestyle from an early age since they can adopt it and stay healthy and combat diseases in later years. Dr. Faisal Asad, project manager at Tam Development and director general of Health Award, said the public feedback was received following an electronic survey taken up on the issue. The public also suggested that there should be strategic communication between the Ministries of Health and Education to promote healthy lifestyle and health education with traditional methods that will have a positive effect on the public health sector in Saudi Arabia. The health award winner, which was also announced simultaneously, will be done in April with Health Minister Dr. Abdullah Al-Rabeeah expected to honor the winner in a ceremony.

The aim of the award in its first edition is to attract 100 projects and 2,000 ideas from people to select the best which can be applied to improve and promote healthy lifestyle as an essential tool for the prevention of many physical, mental and psychological diseases.

Carlyle Elementary School found themselves promoting a healthy lifestyle as they participated in the Heart and Stroke Foundations Jump Rope for Heart, a program where youth collect pledges for heart disease and stroke research.

Approximately 4,000 schools across Canada participate with nearly 750,000 kids participating in the event.

In Carlyle the grade two students accompanied by grade six playground leaders practiced Thursdays at noon for six weeks before completing their half an hour of skipping rope on Thursday, March 20.

We used to do the whole school, event organizer Joan Bue explained. Theres too many kids to fit in here now and the grade threes and up do cross country, and track and field, so this gives the grade twos something special to do.

Something special indeed as the grade twos successfully raised $3,329.25 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation, which they cheered loudly about when the number was revealed by Bue after the skipping was completed.

The amount we raise stays in Saskatchewan with the Heart and Stroke Foundation and were given 10 percent of what we raise back to us, Bue stated.

The youth will deliberate on what to use this money for as they are currently completing a social studies program promoting community projects.
