nger age group, the main causes of death among those who had never married were infectious disease like Aids, and other factors like accidents. They also found that cardiovascular and chronic diseases were among the main probable causes among the middle-aged group. Explaining that unmarried men were more likely to die early than their women counterparts, they also said that men between the ages of 19 to 44 who were unmarried were twice as likely to die earlier when compared to the men of the same age who were married.
Prof Kaplan had explained that evidence suggests that social isolation could increase the risk of premature death. He said, “Marriage is a rough proxy for social connectedness. Among categories on being unmarried, we suggest that having never married may be associated with more severe isolation because it is associated with greater isolation from children and other family.”
Mary Toner, the chief executive of the charity Scottish Marriage Care, was of the opinion that the result of the study clearly shows that the protection is offered by a stable relationship or marriage. She said, “I would argue that good healthy marriages and relationships are enriching, and we would agree that an isolated lifestyle can be damaging.”
