Marriage is linked to a lower risk of developing cancer, recent research found.
A study of more than four million cancer cases in the U.S. found cancer rates were about 68% higher among men who have never married compared with those who have. For never-married women, the relationship was more pronounced, with cancer rates roughly 83% higher, research published recently in the journal Cancer Research Communications showed.
Married people tend to have greater economic stability and better support systems, and they are more likely to stick with treatment, said Paulo Pinheiro, professor of cancer epidemiology at the University of Miami School of Medicine’s Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center and co-author of the findings. The study looked at data collected between 2015 and 2022 encompassing more than 100 million people aged 30 or older from 12 states. About 20% were unmarried.
The researchers compared cancer rates by marital status, and by s*x and race. Some of the starkest findings involved preventable cancers linked to infections or behaviors like smoking and drinking. (WSJ)
