The association between marital status and the risk of cardiovascular, cancer, and all-cause mortality: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis
Unmarried status is significantly associated with an increased risk of all-cause, cancer, and CVD mortality. The association between marital status and mortality differs by sex and geographic region. For instance, the link between divorced status and all-cause mortality is significantly stronger in men, while the association between single status and cancer mortality is significantly stronger in women. These findings highlight the importance of considering sex and regional differences in public health interventions.
