We observed 517 people aged 90+ living in Ivano-Frankivsk region during 2005–2015. Each respondent answered 49 questions concerning their socio-psychological state, lifestyle, and health status. Among 133 males and 335 females who got married for the first time, 105 (78.9 %) men and 303 (90.4 %) women felt happy. There was a significant difference (p<0.05) between long-lived men and women who were unhappy in their first marriage – 28 (21.1 %) men and 32 (9.6 %) women. Among happy men, 31 (29.5 %) males were married twice and experienced happiness significantly more often than happy women (15.5 %) experience. No significant difference between happy and unhappy long-livers was found between both sexes in the third marriage. For the group “men”, there was a strong relationship between the years lived and their marital status; for the group “women”, it was strong; for the group “men and women”, the Pearson’s contingency coefficient showed a strong relationship, which indicated the influence of long-term marital status on the life expectancy of long-livers. One reason for the longevity of the XX century generation in Ukraine was a long-term marital status. |
