For Married Women, Age Gap Can Be Deadly
Cougars just don't have a healthy life style. Distemper shots should be mandatory.



(CBS) While studies have show marriage to extend life expectancy in both men and women, women who marry much younger men had better watch out - they're much more likely to die younger.

A new study shows that women who marry men seven to nine years younger than they are increase their mortality risk by 20 percent.

This is the opposite of the finding for men who marry much younger wives - their life expectancy increases.

But Drefahl also found that for women, the greater the age difference with her husband, the lower her life expectancy, regardless of whether she is younger or older than her spouse.

3. Maybe it's worth it?
Their mortality risk is say - for talking purposes - 1% a year, so having a hot young guy raises it to 1.2% a year. It's sort of like the occasional hamburger. I'm sure that older guys hanging out with much younger babes can have it's negative consequences too.
