路透社纽约健康消息 最近在美国加州召开的美国心身学学会年会上，一项新的研究结果表明：鳏居的男人和离婚的男人失去的不只是配偶，他们可能同样失去了一系列可以预防疾病和早逝的健康生活习惯。他们进食的蔬菜量减少，酒量增加，并且不容易戒烟，容易患上老年痴呆病、自杀，甚至英年早逝。 
该研究调查了近三万名男士，结果发现，丧偶的男性每周比以前少吃3份蔬菜，喝更多的酒，平均每周超过21次。而离婚的男性每周的蔬菜摄入量则比以前少了两份，他们更倾向于抽烟。如果再婚，则更有可能戒烟。
目前还不清楚为什么鳏居和刚刚独身的男性比正常生活的男性更不关心自己的健康，美国哈佛大学公共卫生学院的卡瓦齐博士推测，女性对男性的健康有正面的影响。女性通常能经常去看医生，即使大部份女性也有有固定收入的工作，但在家里也承担更多的烹饪家务。事实上，刚刚独身的男性在外吃的油榨食品的量也多了。卡瓦齐博士建议医生应该了解男病人的婚姻状况，尤其当他们的生活习惯开始变化时，医生更应该询问他们在婚姻方面的变化。

A Married Man Is a Healthy Man, Study Finds
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Men who become widowed or divorced may lose more than a spouse. They are also likely to give up a range of health habits that help protect against disease and early death, results of a study suggest.
The findings, which are scheduled to be presented this week at the annual meeting of the American Psychosomatic Society in Monterey, California, show that recently divorced and widowed men eat fewer vegetables, drink more alcohol, and are less likely to quit smoking than their married counterparts.

The study results support the idea that marriage is good for men. Research has shown, for instance, that divorced men are more likely to drink, smoke, commit suicide, develop Alzheimer‘s disease (news - web sites), and die prematurely.
In the current trial of nearly 30,000 men, vegetable intake declined by more than three servings per week in men following the death of a spouse, and nearly two servings per week after a divorce.

It is not clear from the study why widowers or newly single men may be more lax when it comes to their health, but study co-author Dr. Ichiro Kawachi speculates that women have a salutary effect on men.
``Women in general are much better at keeping doctor and dentist appointments. And there may be an unequal distribution of cooking tasks at home...even though most women are also working in paid jobs,‘‘ said Kawachi, from Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, Massachusetts.

Indeed, newly single men also increased their consumption of fried foods outside the home.
Kawachi said that doctors should be aware of their male patients‘ marital status and inquire about changes when their health habits begin to slip.
According to an earlier study, divorce or marital separation more than doubled the risk of suicide in men but was unrelated to suicide risks in women. Another study linked lower blood pressure in men with social support from a spouse., 百拇医药
