AbstractMarital status has been identified as an important social factor associated with mortality. Interesting results were obtained in the present analyses of the Japan Collaborative Cohort Study. Death of spouse was positively associated with risks of male death from all causes, all cancers, and ischemic heart diseases, compared with married status. Divorce or separation was positively associated with risks from all causes among men and women, all cancers among women, and single status was also positively associated with risks from all causes among men and women, and ischemic heart diseases among men. Having large numbers of children was also found to be a risk factor.
