Experts said it was not clear whether the heartache of a marital breakup had a direct effect, or whether divorces were less likely to look after their health without a partner looking out for them.

The study by Karolinska University Hospital and Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden, examined a number of socioeconomic factors, including disposable income and level of education, as well as marital status.

Of course it could have nothing to do with swearing to The Creator of space time matter and life, that you would love each other till the day you died, and then broke that oath.
