Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Married adults are healthier than those in other nonmarried groups. Married adults are least likely to experience health problems and least likely to engage in risky health behaviors with one exception: middle-aged married men have the highest rate of overweight or obesity. Widowed, divorced, or separated adults are more likely to experience serious psychological distress than married adults. The prevalence of physical inactivity in leisure time, current cigarette smoking, and heavier drinking of alcohol are higher in those who are widowed, divorced, separated, never married, or living with a partner.
