It makes some sense, keeping up with kids, if you can, does keep you feeling younger and likely happier. You have a job and purposes, with a younger lady to share it with.
Beats a retirement home, methinks.
Correlation does not imply causality! It seems obvious that a guy who can attract and marry a woman 15+ years younger would likely be in better-than-average shape.
Better than average shape or better than average bank account . . .
Younger brides may or may not increase your life expectancy, but they do decrease boredom by 99%.
Uh-oh, Miss Anthropic is only 12 years younger than me. Better start shopping.
This could be national preventative health plan I would be on board with.
Nice try, but this is one of those cart-before-horse studies.
Only men who are in otherwise great shape would be able to do the deed every day with younger women. Most older men couldn't do it even if they wanted to.
So of course the ones who can will live longer. You're starting with a pre-select group of men who are intrinsically healthier (not to mention probably wealthier, so they can afford better upkeep and medical care).
Put a little more technically, the #1 killer of men is cardiovascular disease, caused by hypertension and atherosclerosis. The ones with those disease are also quite likely to be impotent (or at least somewhat deficient) when they are in their 70s and up. The ability to perform sexually every day is essentially a clean bill of health for the cardiovascular system, eliminating from that group the #1 cause of death.
Gee, if I had someone to put food on my table AND look after the children, I'd probably live a lot longer too...
This is news? Men have believed in this an acted upon this since the first caveman dragged women by their hair into the cave.
