A new study shows that people unhappy marriages have a higher risk getting a broken heart. A bad marriage is riskier older women. They get more heart disease than men because the stress of being a relationship gone wrong. The study is Michigan State University in the USA. Lead researcher Dr Hui Lui said the stress being in an unhappy marriage has a big impact the health of our heart. Dr Lui said one reason for older women having more heart problems is because they are generally more caring. A wife is more likely to provide support and care her sick husband than the other way round. Also, if a wife is sick and cannot look her husband, she can get stressed about this.

Dr Lui's team studied the health 1,200 married men and women aged 57 to 85 a five-year period. The researchers asked the married couples questions their marital quality. They asked about whether they spent free time with or apart their partner. They also asked if they could trust and rely their spouse, and whether their spouse asks them to do too many things and is unfair. The doctors looked the quality the marriages to see who was happy and who was not. They then compared this the number heart attacks and strokes people had. People bad marriages were more depressed, more obese and had higher blood pressure.
