The research is the latest to find a link between owning a dog and better health.
University and colleagues identified patients aged between 40 and 85-years-old who had experienced heart attacks or strokes between 2001 and 2021.A total of 181,696 patients had a heart attack and 154,617 had a stroke in this period, with 5.7 percent percent of the former and 4.8 percent of the latter owning dogs, respectively.
In the other study, Dr. Caroline Kramer of the University of Toronto and her co-authors completed what is known as a meta-analysis by poring over the results of 10 existing studies on people with canine companions, and the overall chance of an owner dying of any cause. Some 3,837,005 million people were involved in the papers.
"Furthermore, keeping a dog is a good motivation for physical activity, which is an important factor in rehabilitation and mental health," she said.
