Marital dissolution, marital discord, and C-reactive protein: Results from the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing.

Conclusions: This is one of the first studies to document a significant cross-sectional association between marital dissolution, marital discord, and CRP, incremental to demographic and health covariates, in a non-American probability sample. Results indicate that inflammation may be one pathway by which marital dissolution and marital discord contribute to risk for disease and early death.
