Long-term follow-up study observes sex-specific health risks linked to marital status in adults, indicating divergent cardiometabolic and survival patterns between men and women.

Key Points

Assess the long-term relationships between marital status and the risks of diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and all-cause mortality across genders.
Conducted a long-term follow-up study analyzing participants by marital status.
Tracked and evaluated incident hypertension, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and all-cause mortality stratified by sex.
Being never married was an important risk factor for hypertension and trended toward significantly higher mortality among men.
Being widowed was associated with a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes among women.
