WHY WOMEN GET MORE MISERABLE WITH AGE !!!!

Why women get more miserable with age (and men cheer up)By Katherine Faulkner
21st October 2010

For most couples, retirement is an eagerly-anticipated chance to finally enjoy life after years of hard work.
But while most men feel happier once retired, many women will find themselves more miserable with their advancing years, a study has found.
Men become more satisfied with their lives once they have escaped the ‘drudgery’ of full-time work, researchers discovered.
But for older women, retirement is more likely to bring loneliness and monotony.

Women over the age of 75 were the worst affected, with women of this age particularly likely to have low levels of ‘wellbeing.’
Many reported suiffering from depression, poor quality of life, loneliness and poor ‘life satisfaction.’
Prof Sir Michael Marmot, who led the research, said that the over-50s in general had become less happy with their lives over the past four years.
But he said that women in particular tended to be more unhappy as they grew older because they had outlived their husbands and their children had grown up and moved away.
‘Older women are more likely to be living lives of loneliness because men die earlier,’ he said.
‘At an age when you are becoming a widow, you are, in Britain, also unlikely to be living with adult children.’
Women were also disproportionately affected by the difficulties of having to care for sick relatives - something which was revealed to take a significant toll on wellbeing.
Those older than 75 spent an average of 40 hours more each week caring for others than those aged between 50 and 74, it said.
‘Those who are caring for their partner spend more hours providing care and have a poorer quality of life than those caring for other people,’ the research found.
In contrast, men over 65 said they were happier with their lives than their young male counterparts.
The study, carried out by researchers from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing, tracked more than 10,000 men and women aged over 50 since 2002.
The most comprehensive study of its kind, it monitored their spending levels, happiness and health.
In general, they found that levels of well-being tended to decline as people grew older whatever the economic climate.
‘Depressive symptoms and loneliness rise with age, particularly among women, while quality of life decreases,’ it said.
But men appear to buck the trend after retirement, with higher levels of “life satisfaction” among those aged over 65 than in younger men, according to the report.
Sir Michael suggested that this could be because men were enjoying retirement more than going to work every day, finding the time to concentrate on hobbies and spend time with friends and family.
‘For some people, retirement means that they have got away from that daily drudgery,’ he said.
‘For others they have lost a role and a sense of fulfillment and enjoyment.’
The study, Financial Circumstances, Health and Wellbeing of the Older Population in England, also found that wellbeing in general had decreased between 2005-9, something the researchers attributed to the economic downturn.
