Associations between mental diso

Divorce is a relatively common stressful life event that is purported to increase risk for all-cause mortality. One problem in the literature on divorce and health is that it is fragmented and spread across many disciplines; most prospective studies of mortality are based in epidemiology and sociology, whereas most mechanistic studies are based in psychology.…

Adverse life events or circumstances can constitute pathways between social conditions …

This meta-analysis focuses on the efficacy of interventions for adults facing separation or divorce designed to help them through the process of divorce. In this meta-analysis we investigate the nature of these programmes and their influence on reduction of divorce-related symptoms. Using a heterogeneous data-set (amount of variance explained by sampling error 58.68%

The study of marital dissolution (i.e. divorce and separation) and mortality has long been a major topic of interest for social scientists. We conducted meta-analyses and meta-regressions on 625 mortality risk estimates from 104 studies, published between 1955 and 2011, covering 24 countries, and providing data on more than 600 million persons. The mean hazard…

Low social class origins have long been recognized for their association with suboptimal health and longevity (Luo and Waite 2005; Turrell et al. 2007). A growing body of life course research is beginning to explain how…

A search of the database PsychInfo from 1962 to the present using the search term “divorc*” returned a total of 14,955 citations.1 A graph of this growth by decade is depicted in Figure?1, indicating an average of 514 citations per year over the last…
