The study found that women were often married to older partners who cannot provide care for them due to their age-related frailty. The study, entitled 'Gender differences in care home admission risk: Partner's age explains the higher risk for women', used data from the Northern Ireland Longitudinal Study (NILS) derived from the Northern Ireland Health Card registration system, to which the 2001 Census return is linked. The research focused on NILS members aged 65 or over at the time, and living in a household with two people as a couple. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-04-women-higher-home-admission-due.html Health Wed, 18 Apr 2012 00:41:25 EST news253928479 Men who are married or in common-law relationships seek medical care sooner for heart attacks compared with single, divorced or widowed men, found a new study in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal). http://medicalxpress.com/news/2011-07-men-treatment-sooner-heart.html Health Mon, 18 Jul 2011 14:33:25 EST news230213221
