Another study, of 15,000 Swedish men and women born from 1915 to 1929, found the same thing.
They conducted a study of 30 men and women whose parents wanted to help during their divorces.
A study of more than 44,000 men found that even moderate exercise can shield against heart disease.
The research was based on a 10-year study of 2,541 men who ranged in age from 40 to 69.
The findings were based on a study of more than 45,000 men over 12 years.
A recent study of 50 men and women who were following reduced-calorie weight loss programs seems to bear out this link.

Kaye's team got data from a study of 811 men who were followed for up to 28 years.
The findings, a surprise to the researchers, are from a study of more than 2,800 men and women 65 years old and older.
