Not too sure whether I should post this, as, while it's an interesting thing, it's not necessarily in my (or women's) best interests! But oh, well. It's from wisegeek.com:
"One study has shown that men who live in polygamous cultures live 12%
longer, on average, than men who live in cultures that enforce
monogamous marriage. Researchers are unsure why this is true, but many
suspect that having many children with more than one wife contributes to
the longevity of these men. The study compared the lifespans of men who
were more than 60 years old and lived in countries that practiced
polygamy to those who lived in nations that did not allow polygamy."
