Out of work<\/strong><\/p>\nData on 9,875 men and women aged between 36 and 52 was used to explore the relationship between stressful social relations and premature death.<\/p>\n
They had all taken part in the Danish Longitudinal Study on Work, Unemployment and Health, from 2000.<\/p>\n
The study found that frequent worries or demands generated by partners and children were linked to a 50%-100% increased risk of death from all causes.<\/p>\n
Being out of work seemed to increase the negative impact of stressful social relationships. Those who were unemployed were at significantly greater risk of death from any cause than those who had a job, the study said.<\/p>\n
Men seemed to be particularly vulnerable to the worries and demands generated by their female partners, with a higher risk of death than that normally associated with being a man.<\/p>\n
Dr Rikke Lund, from the University of Copenhagen’s department of public health, said worries and arguments were part of life.<\/p>\n
But she added that people who were always or often involved in conflicts were at greatest risk, and could be helped.<\/p>\n
“Intervening in conflicts, particularly for those out of work, may help to curb premature deaths associated with social relationship stressors,” she said.<\/p>\n
Prof Angela Clow, from the department of psychology and physiology at the University of Westminster, said the findings were “not surprising”.<\/p>\n
“It would have been more interesting if they had looked at the biological pathways and shown why or how conflicts had an effect on mortality risk,” she said.<\/p>\n

Having frequent arguments with partners, friends or relatives can increase the risk of death in middle-age, say Danish researchers. Writing in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, they said men and those not in work were most vulnerable. Dealing with worries and demands from close family was also linked to a higher mortality risk,\u00a0the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":17395,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[],"tags":[15],"yoast_head":"\n
