American University researchers - A study shows that getting married is beneficial to men's health. - A long-term marriage can reduce a man's chance of serious illness and is more effective than smoking cessation in preventing potentially fatal diseases in men.

This research result was published in the American Journal of Psychosomatic Medicine this month.

The researchers took blood samples from 1,715 volunteers aged 57 to 85 and tested the levels of C-reactive protein in their blood. C-reactive protein is produced in the liver and is an acute protein produced when the body experiences an inflammatory response. It can be used in clinical medicine to predict the risk of heart disease, depression and stroke.

The study found that among all groups, married men had the lowest levels of C-reactive protein in their blood: an average of 1.16 milligrams per liter of blood per person, while the average for unmarried men was 2.72 milligrams. As for women, there is no significant difference in C-reactive protein levels in the body regardless of whether they are married or not.

Researchers say marriage can reduce a man's risk of health problems to a certain extent. This is equivalent to the effect of maintaining a relatively healthy weight in middle and old age, and is much higher than the benefits of maintaining normal blood pressure.
