Aging Gracefully

Women's survey sheds some ideas

(HealthDayNews) -- Ladies, would you like to stay healthy into your golden years? Would you like to have more sexual satisfaction?

Well, here's a tip from the Journal of General Psychology: Be rich. And have a drink now and then to celebrate your good fortune.

The department of psychology at the University of North Dakota surveyed 245 women with an average age of 66 years, asking questions about their general health and sexual satisfaction.

Adjusted for all other factors, the higher the family income is, the more likely a person will be healthy and sexually satisfied. Also, women who drink in moderation are generally healthier than abstainers.
