Stressful Relationships Linked to Men's Earlier Death

Worrying and frequent arguing with partners, relatives, friends and neighbours, may contribute to premature death in middle-aged men, according to recent findings published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. 

The Danish study, which sampled nearly 10,000 men and women, showed that men who experienced frequent stressful social situations such as worries and demands from their spouses and children had a 50-100% increased mortality risk.¹

In Australia, men live to an average of 79 years, compared to women who can expect to live 84 years.² 

“Conflicts, especially, were associated with higher mortality risk regardless of whom was the source of the conflict,” the authors write. “Worries and demands were only associated with mortality risk if they were related to partner or children.”
