Analysis finds marital status significantly increases mortality risk in women during reproductive and post-reproductive years, suggesting social factors play a critical role.

Key Points

Marriage significantly affects female mortality, with reproductive risks notably higher in younger ages, influencing mortality.
Statistical analysis used bootstrapped polynomial regression and Kaplan–Meier survival curves to assess variations in mortality by marital status.
Women in marriages had lower survival rates compared to those entering religious orders, especially during post-reproductive years.
Social factors like marriage illustrate complex dynamics influencing female mortality beyond biological risks in Tang Dynasty China.
