Study: Work Stress and Divorce Deadly for Men
From Times Wire Reports
Chronic work stress and divorce can be a deadly combination for men, a new study has found.
Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and the State University of New York in Oswego studied data from 12,366 patients who participated in the seven-year Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial.
The study, funded by the National Institutes of Health, will be published in the current issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine.
Of 10,904 men who were married at the start of the trial, the researchers found those who stayed married were less likely to die than those who divorced.
