The longevity of a person can be deeply affected by the health of the spouse / partner.

David A. Sbarra, a researcher at the University of Arizona (Arizona, USA), and colleagues examined data on 8,187 married couples, average age 60, recorded at the Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). Participants were subjected to questionnaires on physical health and quality of life, and were assessed by standardized tests to measure verbal fluency, word recall and delayed word recall.

The team found that the physical and cognitive functioning of a spouse of a person can significantly affect the quality of life of the other spouse: in particular, the researchers said: "The physical and mental (cognitive ) the spouse predicts the level of quality of life partner, beyond their own health and cognition. These effects were of the same size for both men and women. "
