Is it true that marriage improves physical health and longevity compared with remaining unmarried?
Unclear. Several studies report that married people show better physical health or health-protective behaviors than unmarried people, including a national survey finding married individuals reported better physical and physical health than cohabiting or dating peers, and an Indian cohort concluding marriage protects health. None of the placed items measures longevity or mortality, and the findings are limited to specific populations and outcomes.
