Singles at risk from drinking and suicide
Article Abstract:
There are currently 10 million single people in the UK, of whom 7.5 million are aged under 35. There has been a strong rise in the number of single households over recent years, particularly as a result of people marrying later, the rising divorce rate and higher life expectancy. Single people tend to be prone to depression and heavy drinking, and are often unhealthy because they eat takeaways and ready meals.
