How does it compare to single men, without children? That it, not fathers.
The study didn’t include single women without children either.

Single men without kids have more money and time so we can go to the gym. This promotes healthier eating and abstaining from alcohol - at least Sunday night through Friday morning.
Then we blow all our money on restaurants and booze on the weekends and then go out and do ridiculous things on ski slopes or mt. bikes or whatever other toys we can afford that can end in tragedy. Well, comedy to other observers. And knowledge of the latter makes it all worthwhile.
Transient beings and all.
