Could Spouses Hold The Key to Healthy Aging?

As is often the case, your parents were right -- you really ought to choose your spouse wisely.

For not only till death do you part, but your spouse may affect how well you live in old age too, according to a new study from the University of Arizona.

Joining us to help dissect the implications of that study and to discuss healthy aging in general are Consultant Geriatrician Prof. Tan Maw Pin and Advisor to the Malaysian Healthy Aging Society, Prof. Nathan Vythilingam.
