Men who never “tie the knot” are more than twice as likely to die within about five years after a heart failure diagnosis compared to men who are or were previously married and women of any marital status, a new study found.
Men who never “tie the knot” are more than twice as likely to die within about five years after a heart failure diagnosis compared to men who are or were previously married and women of any marital status, a new studyThe American College of Cardiology announced the new research on Thursday, which involved the study of 6,800 American adults between 45-84 years old.
“There is a relationship between a person’s relationship status and their clinical prognosis [with heart failure], and it’s important to figure out why that is,” said Katarina Leyba, MD, a resident physician at the University of Colorado and the study’s lead author. Researchers said the reasons behind the relationship between a man’s marital status and survival after heart failure warrant further study. Researchers believe potential drivers could include “social interaction or isolation, which can play an important role in mood and overall health; access to caregiver support for help with home health monitoring, medication adherence and transportation to medical appointments; or differences in health behaviors such as diet, exercise and alcohol intake.
