I loook forward to charge of my brain training access to an entire library of targeted brain exercises.

Additional support: it seems that unmarried men and women are likely to have a worse diet and exercise regimen, leading to more heart disease. With only one person around it may feel less worthwhile to cook a healthy meal, and a tough spouse could exert pressure to get out and workout.

Therefore, more men than women will have heart attacks; with no one around (single males) one has a higher probability of dying due to lack of immediate treatment. Having someone around (married males) increases the probability of survival... therefore with the disproportionate rates of heart disease, men get, on average, more years than women. Another factor might be that men who are married are more likely persuaded by their wives to go to the doctor, which might also add to the disproportionate benefit.
