Men who perceive their marriage as unsuccessful are at high risk for premature death, according to new research from Tel Aviv University. Specifically, marital dissatisfaction was found to be a remarkably reliable predictor of premature death and strokes.
The long-term study was led by researchers from TAU’s School of Public Health at the Sackler Faculty of Medicine and initiated and managed by Prof. Uri Goldbort of the Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine.
A man’s perception of being in an unsuccessful marriage is as significant a predictor of early death “no less than well-known risk factors such as smoking and lack of physical activity,” the researchers said in a statement.
