Risk of inflammation rises in men living alone from several years: Study Latest Videos
News 24
As per the findings of the new study, the risk of inflammation rises for men who are living alone for several years and experiencing serial relationship break-ups.
The findings were published in the 'Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health'. Although the inflammation was classified as low grade, it was persistent, and most likely indicates a heightened risk of age-related ill health and death, suggest the researchers.
Divorce and committed relationship break-ups, which are often followed by a potentially lengthy period of living alone, have been associated with a heightened risk of poor physical and mental health, lowered immunity, and death.
But most previously published studies have focused on the impact of one partnership dissolution, and then usually only on marital break-ups.
