Extending age: the science of living together EXTENDING AGE: THE SCIENCE OF LIVING TOGETHER
Scientific studies have rather consistently demonstrated that companionship contributes to good health. The quality of relationships also is a factor, found Xinhua Steve Ren, Ph.D., assistant professor at the Boston University School of Public Health and research health scientist with the Center for Health Quality, Outcome, and Economic Research of the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Bedford, Massachusetts. Here are some of his other findings.
• Separation and divorce can actually improve health - but only in cases where there were serious ongoing marital problems. Separation and divorce are most detrimental to health when the marriage had no prior serious problems and the crisis arose with the sudden discovery of infidelity.
• Being separated is more injurious to health than divorce. The separated were more than 2 times as likely to consider themselves in poor health than were married folks, while divorced people were about 1.3 times more likely to think themselves in ill health.
• The quality of a relationship-whether marriage or cohabitation-affects the participants' health. Those in unhappy relationships are at higher health risk than those who are in happy relationships and, surprisingly, even than those who are divorced.
• Compared to married people, the unmarried tend to have higher death rates from all causes, have higher levels of stress, and use more health services.
