Unmarried people have lower risk of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, study finds
This is the 64th instalment in a series on dementia , including the research into its causes and treatment, advice for carers, and stories of hope. Advertisement There are many health benefits to being in a happy marriage. It gives each partner a sense of security and belonging. They have someone to share the burdens of life with and, as they say, a problem shared is a problem halved. That tends to alleviate stress, which can, in turn, lower hypertension , boost sleep quality and enhance mental health. Having somebody to do activities with might mean you get out more, do more exercise or enjoy a better social life. Previous studies have found that married men and married women live longer than singletons.

Can Hong Kong convince private hospitals to be clear and upfront with fees?
Knee replacement surgery is one of the most common operations performed in Hong Kong, with a long waiting time at public hospitals that drives many to pay more for private treatment. Advertisement But a patient hoping to compare prices at the city's 14 private hospitals will find it hard to get a clear idea of how much the procedure may cost. Only half the hospitals provide information online for knee replacement surgery packages, with prices ranging from HK$88,000 (US$11,200) to about HK$330,000 for one knee. One made clear that doctors' fees were not included, meaning the final bill could be considerably higher. The Post called six other private hospitals, posing as a patient's family member, but could not get a clear indication of what they charged. Advertisement Staff at four hospitals said the patient would need a medical consultation first. The other two gave only rough estimates of between HK$180,000 and HK$300,000. 'We do not provide such pricing information. You have to ask your doctor,' a staff member at one hospital said. 'Each doctor charges differently.'
