“銀發離婚”有損健康

退休后不再需要每日外出上班，孩子也長大成人，離開家獨立生活。此時，個人時間變得充裕，不少人感覺與另一半沒有共同語言，于是決定離婚，重新尋找幸福。如今，“銀發離婚”不再罕見，但最新研究顯示，“銀發離婚”有損健康。

It may feel like a new lease of life, but those who divorce in their latter years and move into another relationship are seriously risking their health.
人到晚年與伴侶離婚，跨入一段新戀情，這看起來像是翻開了人生的新篇章，但卻會給健康帶來很大風險。

Research shows so-called 'silver splitters' are less likely to survive a heart attack than those who remained wed.
研究顯示，與婚姻穩定的老年人群相比，“銀發離婚者”患心臟病后更不易痊愈。

Much of this comes down to the spouse nag factor – which it turns out actually keeps us fitter.
這大多是因為沒有了配偶的嘮叨，而配偶的嘮叨其實會讓我們更健康。

A wife, for instance, is more likely to pester her man to go to the doctor, take medication, exercise and stay off the booze and cigarettes.
比如妻子更可能不厭其煩地讓丈夫去看醫生，吃藥，鍛煉身體，以及遠離煙酒。

A new partner in later life, however, is less likely to exert the same 'social control' in the first eight years of a second marriage.
而再婚后的頭八年時間里，新伴侶不太可能這樣“管住你”。
