According to a study by scientists at the American University of Yale, unhappy husbands are 67 percent more likely to report chest pain in the year following a heart attack than spouses who experience little or no stress in their marriage and are only 50 percent more likely to return to the hospital after a heart attack.
In order to determine whether a long-term relationship could help or hinder recovery from a heart attack, researchers looked at more than 1500 adults, with an average age of 47, one year later and compared them to how happy they were in their marriage.
Before being categorised as experiencing weak, mild, medium, or severe marriage pressures, the participants were asked to complete questionnaires on subjects like the quality of the emotional and sexual relationship.
In addition to the hospital data used to track any re-entry operations of medical institutions, the scientists then utilised a measure to evaluate the physical sample’s health as well as the levels of discomfort and mental wellness.
In the outcome, about 4 out of 10 women and 3 out of 10 men reached severe marital pressure, according to the results presented in the scientific course of the American Heart Association of 2022.
According to the British tabloid “Daily Mail,” those who experienced intense marital pressure also shown a modest performance in terms of their physical and mental wellbeing.
