The data suggest that the changes in lifestyle on the loss of a spouse impact on the incidence of almost every type of cancer. The effects were so large that a failure to consider marital status in epidemiological studies may be a source to bias. Understanding these lifestyle changes may provide new insight in cancer prevention.
I am a new widow of 8 months and I care for my mom who has dementia. I read a lot.
Thank you for the information. It is very interesting.
I am sorry to hear about your loss.
