Abstract
⺠The risk of early mortality among the divorced and separated is 30% higher than the risk among the married. ⺠Divorced men are more at risk than divorced women, but the differences between men and women decrease with age. ⺠The harmful effects of marital dissolution are most pronounced during the first few years following the dissolution.
