JAKARTA – Effect single too long for health should not be underestimated. Research shows that being single carries a risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke bigger than married people.
Reporting from Newsweek, Monday (21/8/2023) research published in the journal Heart also found that single higher risk of higher mortality overall.
Those in committed relationships rely on their partner’s support to improve health outcomes. So that marital status can be an indicator of heart health.
In an analysis of 34 studies and more than 2 million participants, an international team of researchers found that people who had never been married were almost one and a half times more likely to develop cardiovascular disease.
Meanwhile, married couples are better able to adapt to stress. This is because their partners provide greater emotional support and resources to prevent or treat health problems.
Plus, living with a partner can save lives. Partners may notice symptoms earlier than someone living alone, which can lead to earlier doctor visits and disease detection.
In a two-income household, healthy finances can mean better health care. This includes access to post-illness rehabilitation.
On the other hand, when a marriage ends, heart health can decline. Divorced men and women have a high risk of coronary heart disease.
