Death and disease increase after divorce. Journalist Florence Williams, mourning the end of her own marriage, investigates why.
Type 1 is usually diagnosed in children. It’s rare to be diagnosed as an adult, but when you are, it tends to progress more slowly. Since I still had some functional beta cells in my pancreas, I was told I might be able to delay the need for daily insulin shots if I could manage the carbohydrate load in my diet, work on my stress levels, and exercise after eating.
While scientists have known for decades that death and disease increase after divorce, some are now trying to investigate which antibodies, inflammation markers, and gene sequences can lead to trouble. Researchers at Ohio State University found that adults who were struggling emotionally with their recent divorces produced fewer natural killer cells, which are important for fighting cancer and other diseases.
People with a terminal, brutal, and stigmatized disease no doubt faced an unusual amount of stress. So Cole was surprised when he was approached in the early 2000s by a psychologist at the University of Chicago named John Cacioppo asking him to expand his genomics work into a far more common and mundane population: lonely people.
But it shouldn’t be surprising that our immune systems become implicated when we are emotionally crushed, he said. Still, we don’t expect it. We think the damage is all in our heads. “We think of relationship loss and isolation as pragmatic problems,” he said, “because we are overly cognitive beings.” We are fairly good at trying to solve problems like how to cook a meal for one person and how to transfer auto insurance. And yet that cognitive mode soon becomes insufficient.
