The authors investigated (a) whether being continuously married compared with other marital status trajectories over 5 years attenuates the adverse effects of lower education and lower income on longevity, (b) whether being in higher conflict as well as lower conflict marriage compared with being single provides a buffer against socioeconomic status inequalities in mortality, and (c) whether the conditional effects of marital factors on the SES-mortality association vary by gender.
The authors estimated logistic regression models with data from adults aged 30 or above who participated in the National Survey of Families and Households 1987- 2002.
Being continuously married, compared with being continuously never married or making a transition to separation/divorce, buffered mortality risks among men with low income. Mortality risk for low-income men was also lower in higher conflict marriages compared with being never married or previously married.
Marriage ameliorates mortality risks for some low-income men.
作者研究了(a)相较于其他婚姻轨迹,连续 5 年保持婚姻状态是否能减轻受教育程度和收入较低对长寿的不利影响,(b)相较于单身,处于高冲突和低冲突婚姻中是否能缓冲社会经济地位不平等对死亡率的影响,以及(c)婚姻因素对 SES-死亡率关联的条件效应是否因性别而异。
作者使用参加了 1987-2002 年全国家庭和住户调查的 30 岁及以上成年人的数据,估计了逻辑回归模型。
相较于连续保持未婚或过渡到分居/离婚,连续保持婚姻状态能缓冲低收人群体男性的死亡风险。与从未结婚或之前已婚相比,高冲突婚姻也降低了低收入男性的死亡风险。
婚姻改善了一些低收入男性的死亡风险。
