     Study Finds a Possible Biological Reason for Health Benefits From Marriage

     Results from a recent study suggest that one reason married couples may be healthier than their single counterparts (be they divorced, widowed, or never-married) is that married people have lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol. The study, funded in part by NCCIH and conducted by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine, was published in the journal Psychoneuroendocrinology.

     Cortisol is a key component of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA axis) and of the biological response to stress. Generally, a person’s level of cortisol rises quickly after awakening, and falls as the day goes on. Lower levels of cortisol, and a steepernegative slope pattern when it drops, are both associated with better health. In contrast, higher levels of cortisol and flatter slopes are associated with numerous health problems, from heart disease to metabolic syndrome to shorter cancer survival times.
