Results revealed that although fathers' death rate was lower than that of nonfathers, their heart health was worse.
Heart health in some fathers is worse than nonfathers, a new study by Northwestern University and Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago revealed.The study, which was published this month, examined 2,814 men between the ages of 45 and 84. Researchers rated the participants' heart health after examining factors such as diet, physical activity, smoking habits, weight, blood pressure and blood markers, such as the level of lipids and glucose.
'We also found that fathers had lower rates of depressive symptoms than nonfathers, so mental health may be contributing to the lower age-adjusted death rates in fathers,' Parker said.Newsweek reached out to Northwestern by email for comment.Age also played a part, with researchers learning that men who became fathers at a younger age—25 years old or younger—had worse heart health and higher death rates, particularly among Black and Hispanic men, when they were older.
