Men who want to live longer might want to marry better-educated women.
Those who do tend to live longer, a Swedish study has found. Just why isn't clear.
Researchers started with 1990 Swedish census data on more than 1.5 million men and women from 30 to 59 years old who were living with a partner and followed up by looking at deaths from 1991 to 2003.
Generally, they found that more education and higher earning power equated to lower mortality for both women and men. The woman's educational level was an even more influential factor for men, with men married to a college graduate more likely to still be alive at the end of that time than those who married women with less education.
