Divorced and single people are at the highest risk of developing dementia compared to their married counterparts, according to a new study.
Spouses who get married and stay married - without any breaks - are less likely to develop dementia than anyone else. Having children also reduces dementia risk - unmarried people were 60 percent less likely to develop the disease if they had kids.
However, the research, conducted by Norwegian University of Science and Technology found that divorced and single people had the highest rate of dementia.
